The court's record, as written
962304 Ewell v. Commonwealth 09/12/1997 Since the off-duty officer who stopped the defendant did not have a reasonable suspicion that she may have been engaged in trespassing or any other criminal activity, the defendant was seized in violation of her Fourth Amendment rights and, therefore, the trial court erred in failing to suppress the evidence of drug possession obtained as a result of the seizure and the Court of Appeals erred in affirming the trial court's judgment. Final judgment vacates the conviction and dismisses the indictment.
