| COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. THOMAS A. PERRY, JR. No. 2061 MDA 2008 2009 PA Super 196 Atlantic: n/a Filed: 10/6/2009 | |
| Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence entered August 27, 2008 In the Court of Common Pleas of Lebanon County Criminal No.: CP-38-CR-0000150-2008 | |
| Before: ORIE MELVIN, COLVILLE, and FITZGERALD, JJ. | |
| Opinion by: FITZGERALD, J. | |
| Appellant, Thomas A. Perry, Jr., appeals from the judgment of sentence entered in the Lebanon County Court of Common Pleas, following his convictions for driving under the influence and driving vehicle at safe speed. We hold that this Court’s decision in Commonwealth v. Minnich, 874 A.2d 1234 (Pa. Super. 2005), finding that potential danger of causing an accident is sufficient to establish probable cause to initiate a traffic stop, applies in full to the current reasonable-suspicion standard. Accordingly, we affirm. | |
