Search and Seizure — reasonable suspicion — probable cause — search incident to arrest

Robert Zakovec appeals judgments convicting him of resisting or obstructing an officer and possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver. Zakovec pled guilty to these offenses after the court denied his motion to suppress evidence. He argues that officer William Lear lacked reasonable suspicion to stop him, used unreasonable force, and lacked probable cause to arrest him for obstructing an officer, invalidating the search incident to arrest. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgments. This opinion will not be published.
