Criminal procedure — Motion to suppress evidence — Arrest without probable cause
After denying a motion to suppress evidence, the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, in a bench trial, convicted Travis Mason, appellant, of robbery with a deadly weapon and first degree burglary.
Appellant, who was sentenced to fourteen years (consecutive to other sentences he was then serving, which totaled 35 years of executed time), challenges both convictions, arguing that the motion court erred in ruling that police did not make a de facto arrest without probable cause when they stopped appellant at gunpoint.
