                     On Appeal from the 441st District Court
                            Midland County, Texas
                        Trial Court Cause No. CR41353


                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
      Gregory Alan White was charged by indictment with the offense of
tampering with physical evidence. White filed a pretrial motion to suppress the
evidence acquired as a result of his allegedly illegal detention. The trial court
granted White’s motion. The State has filed this interlocutory appeal from the trial
court’s order. We affirm.
                             I. The Charged Offense
      A person commits the offense of tampering with physical evidence if,
knowing that an investigation is pending or in progress, he alters, destroys, or
conceals any record, document, or thing with intent to impair its verity, legibility,
or availability as evidence in the investigation.           TEX. PENAL CODE ANN.
§ 37.09(a)(1) (West Supp. 2013). The offense is a felony of the third degree. Id.
§ 37.09(c).
                                 II. Background Facts
      The trial court entered written findings of fact and conclusions of law after
granting White’s motion to suppress. They read as follows:
                                FINDINGS OF FACT

      1.      Officer Jordan Oliver is an Officer with the Midland Police
              Department and was so employed on March 5, 2013.

      2.      This area is “known” to officers with the Midland Police
              Department as a high crime area. It is also known that
              individuals deal in narcotics in this same area.

      3.      Officer Oliver recently interacted with individuals who had
              weapons on them and had evaded from him in the same area.

      4.      Narcotics arrests have been made from the same area.

      5.      Officer Oliver saw a group of individuals in this area.

      6.      A “no loitering” sign is posted at this location.

      7.      It is common for drug dealers to use a lookout to announce
              police presence.

      8.      Officer Oliver saw [White] appear around the corner and
              appeared to be very nervous.

      9.      Officer Oliver attempted to conduct a pat down search for
              weapons.

      10.     [White] then began to walk away.

      11.     Officer Oliver then detained [White].
                                           2
12.   [White] refused to cooperate with a pat down for weapons and
      began to pull away from the Officer.

13.   Officer Oliver saw [White] had tightly clenched his left fist.

14.   Officer Oliver ordered [White] to open his hand because he
      feared [White] had a weapon or sharp object.

15.   [White] refused.

16.   Officer Oliver believed [White] was attempting to conceal or
      destroy the item by swallowing it.

17.   [White] was arrested for Tampering with Physical Evidence and
      Possession of a Controlled Substance.

18.   There were neither arrest warrants nor search warrants involved
      in this case.

19.   On March 5, 2013, at approximately 1700 hours, Officer J.
      Oliver (“Officer”) of the Midland Police Department, was
      conducting a walk-through of an area around 300 N. Lee Street,
      Midland, Texas.

20.   The area the Officer was patrolling is an area known to the
      Officer as a high-crime area.

21.   While patrolling, Officer observed an unknown female
      announce “one time, one time”, which the Officer believed was
      an announcement for police presence.

22.   The Officer observed the unknown female and a group of
      individuals gathered close to the female at this time. At this
      point, the Officer had not observed [White].

23.   As the Officer approached the unknown female, from a
      different direction of the individuals and around a corner,
      [White] was walking toward the area of the Officer. Nobody
      disbursed as the Officer approached.
                                   3
24.   [White] was walking on a walkway, not the street.

25.   The Officer did not question the unknown female nor did the
      Officer question the other people gathered in the area.

26.   The Officer then turned the corner and made eye-contact with
      [White].

27.   The Officer claims that [White] became nervous upon making
      eye-contact. After making eye-contact with the Officer,
      [White] turned from the direction of the Officer and began
      walking in a different direction. The Officer agreed with
      defense counsel that most individuals act nervous around law
      enforcement officers.

28.   The Officer did not observe [White] run nor remain still nor sit
      down nor gather with any individuals. The Officer claims
      [White] was loitering, however, the Officer’s testimony did not
      support the contention that [White] was loitering.

29.   The Officer asked [White] to stop and [White] did not stop;
      [White] continued to walk in a direction away from the Officer.

30.   The Officer believed [White] was crossing a street so the
      Officer decided to grab [White] from his hands and put them
      behind his back and detain [White]. The Officer admits to
      detaining [White] at this point.

31.   The Officer then took [White] to the ground and handcuffed
      [White].

32.   The Officer then claims to have seen [White] put a substance
      from his left hand into his mouth.

33.   The Officer had [White] spit out the substance and the Officer
      recovered the substance, which the Officer believed to be the
      controlled substance, cocaine base.



                                  4
34.   The substance was seized by the Officer and logged in as part
      of the evidence in this case.

                      CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

1.    Officer Jordan Oliver is a Peace Officer pursuant to Section
      2.12 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

2.    A Peace Officer may lawfully stop and temporarily detain a
      person for investigation upon reasonable suspicion that the
      person has committed or is committing or is about to commit a
      crime or is connected with some criminal activity. Reasonable
      suspicion exists if the Officer has specific, articulable facts that,
      when combined with rational inferences from those facts,
      would lead him to reasonably conclude that a particular person
      actually is, has been, or soon will be engaged in criminal
      activity.

3.    “Perfectly lawful behavior can be sufficient to justify a
      temporary detention.” U.S. v. Sokolow[,] 490 U.S. 1, 9 (1998).

4.    The Fourth Amendment has been held not to require a
      policeman who lacks a precise level of information necessary
      for probable cause to arrest to simply shrug his shoulders and
      allow crime to occur or a criminal to escape. Circumstances
      short of probable cause for arrest may justify temporary
      detention for investigation and questioning. Thus, no showing
      of probable cause is required.

5.    Officer Jordan Oliver did not have reasonable suspicion to
      conduct a stop and temporary detention to investigate . . .
      whether [White] had committed a crime, or was committing a
      crime, or was about to commit a crime based on the totality of
      the circumstances.

6.    Officer Oliver did not provide ample testimony to support the
      detention of [White]. Said testimony was uncontroverted.




                                    5
7.    The State failed to meet its burden of proof by a preponderance
      of credible evidence to establish reasonable suspicion to detain
      [White].

8.    The burden of proof in this case is with the State of Texas as
      the Officer did not have a warrant to detain, arrest, nor search
      [White].

9.    The Officer did conduct an investigative detention of [White] at
      the point when the Officer approached [White] and grabbed
      [White’s] hands and put them behind [White’s] back. The
      Officer’s conduct at this point would have communicated to a
      reasonable person that the person was not free to decline the
      Officer’s requests or otherwise terminate the encounter.

10.   The Officer’s factual basis of nervousness, high-crime area, and
      announcement of “one time” did not equate to reasonable
      suspicion that would permit [White’s] detention.

11.   The unknown female’s call of police presence is of minimal
      value as [White] was not observed by the Officer until the
      Officer approached the female and turned the corner, [White]
      was coming from a different direction than the gathered
      individuals, and [White] continued to approach until eye-
      contract was made with the Officer.

12.   The Court finds that even though [White] may have exhibited
      nervous behavior, [White’s] acts did not rise to the level of
      reasonable suspicion. [White’s] nervous behavior is minimal
      nervous behavior as [White] simply continued to walk in a
      different direction but walk nonetheless. In addition, the
      Officer agreed that most innocent individuals act nervous
      around law enforcement.

13.   [White’s] presence in a high crime area called the “Flats” also
      did not alone nor with the other factors in this case create
      reasonable suspicion justifying [White’s] detention. Case law
      supports and it is beyond dispute that being in a high crime area
      does not alone create reasonable suspicion justifying an
      investigative detention.
                                  6
14.   [White] was not loitering as the evidence showed that the
      Officer observed [White] walking in his direction, then walking
      away from his direction after making eye-contact. [White] did
      not sit down nor gather and remain in the area in question.

15.   The arresting Officer did not have specific, articulable facts
      that, taken together with rational inferences from those facts,
      would lead him to reasonably conclude that [White] was
      engaged in criminal activity and would justify the Officer
      detaining [White].

16.   Based on the totality of the circumstances, at the time of
      [White’s] detention[,] the Officer did not have an arrest
      warrant, and search warrant, probable cause, nor reasonable
      suspicion to justify the detention.

17.   The arresting officer’s discovery of the substances and seizure
      of the substances in this case was the product of an illegal
      detention. Any tangible evidence seized in connection with
      [White’s] detention and subsequent arrest was seized without
      warrant, probable cause or other lawful authority in violation of
      the rights of [White] pursuant to the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and
      Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution,
      Article I, Sections 9, 10 and 19 of the Constitution of the State
      of Texas.

18.   In accordance with the U.S. Constitution, Texas Constitution,
      and Article 38.23 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the
      Court suppresses any and all tangible evidence seized by law
      enforcement officers or others in connection with the detention
      and arrest of [White] in this case, and any testimony by the
      Midland Police Department or any other law enforcement
      officers or others concerning such evidence. The white
      substances seized from [White] at the time of his arrest and any
      exams and testimony related to those substances are hereby
      suppressed and deemed inadmissible at trial of this case.




                                  7
                                III. Issue Presented
      In a single issue, the State argues that the trial court erred when it granted
White’s motion to suppress because reasonable suspicion justified the detention of
White for investigative purposes.
                              IV. Standard of Review
      We review a trial court’s ruling on a motion to suppress for an abuse of
discretion. Arguellez v. State, 409 S.W.3d 657, 662 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013).
When, as here, the trial court makes explicit findings of fact, we afford those
findings almost total deference as long as the record supports them, and we afford
the same amount of deference to the trial court’s rulings on mixed questions of law
and fact if those rulings turn on an evaluation of credibility and demeanor. State v.
Castleberry, 332 S.W.3d 460, 465–66 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011). We apply a de
novo standard of review to pure questions of law and mixed questions of law and
fact that do not depend on credibility determinations. Martinez v. State, 348
S.W.3d 919, 922–23 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011). The application of legal principles
to a specific set of facts is an issue of law that is subject to de novo review.
Johnson v. State, 414 S.W.3d 184, 192 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). Thus, whether the
totality of the circumstances under a given set of historical facts is sufficient to
support an officer’s reasonable suspicion to justify an investigatory detention is a
legal issue that we review de novo. Id.; Madden v. State, 242 S.W.3d 504, 517
(Tex. Crim. App. 2007).
                                    V. Analysis
      Police and citizens may engage in three distinct types of interactions:
consensual encounters, investigative detentions, and arrests. Johnson, 414 S.W.3d
at 191. Unlike an investigative detention and an arrest, consensual police-citizen
encounters do not implicate Fourth Amendment protections. State v. Woodard,
341 S.W.3d 404, 411–12 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011); Crain v. State, 315 S.W.3d 43,
                                         8
49 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). The parties in this case do not dispute that White was
at least detained when Officer Oliver stopped White from walking away, grabbed
his hands, and put them behind his back. Accordingly, we will address whether the
investigative detention of White was lawful under the Fourth Amendment.
      Under the Fourth Amendment, a warrantless detention of a person that
amounts to less than a full-blown custodial arrest must be justified by a reasonable
suspicion. Derichsweiler v. State, 348 S.W.3d 906, 914 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011).
Reasonable suspicion exists if the detaining officer has specific articulable facts
that, when taken together with rational inferences from those facts, lead the officer
to conclude that the person detained is, has been, or soon will be engaged in
criminal activity. Brother v. State, 166 S.W.3d 255, 257 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
These facts must amount to more than a mere hunch or suspicion that criminal
activity is afoot. Cullum v. State, 270 S.W.3d 583, 584–85 (Tex. Crim. App.
2008).
      The reasonable suspicion determination is an objective standard made by
considering the totality of the circumstances. Ford v. State, 158 S.W.3d 488, 492–
93 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Circumstances may all seem innocent in isolation, but
if they combine to reasonably suggest the imminence of criminal conduct, an
investigative detention is justified.         Derichsweiler, 348 S.W.3d at 914.
Nevertheless, to support a finding of reasonable suspicion, the specific facts
articulated by the detaining officer must show some unusual activity, some
evidence that connects the detainee to the unusual activity, and some indication
that the unusual activity is related to a crime. Martinez, 348 S.W.3d at 923.
However, there is no requirement that the officer suspect that a particular offense is
being committed; it is enough if the facts suggest that something of an apparently
criminal nature is brewing. Derichsweiler, 348 S.W.3d at 916–17.


                                          9
      In this case, the State argues that the circumstances that support
Officer Oliver’s reasonable suspicion include the high crime area, the lookout’s
warning, White’s nervousness, White’s evasive behavior, and Officer Oliver’s
experience. According to the State, the trial court improperly disregarded White’s
nervousness and Officer Oliver’s prior experience in similar situations when the
trial court found that Officer Oliver lacked reasonable suspicion to justify the
investigative detention.
      The first factor relied on by the State to show reasonable suspicion is that
White was walking in an area known to officers of the Midland Police Department
as a high crime area. Officer Oliver knew that individuals deal narcotics in that
area, known as the “flats”; he had recently interacted with individuals in the same
area who had weapons on them and had evaded him. The fact that a detainee was
seen or found in a high crime area alone may not serve as the basis for an
investigative detention. Crain, 315 S.W.3d at 53. It is merely among the various
factors that officers may take into account when evaluating reasonable suspicion
under the totality of the circumstances. Id.
      The second factor relied on by the State is that an unidentified woman
apparently announced Officer Oliver’s presence while the woman stood near a
group of individuals on a corner. While a lookout’s warning may be suspicious,
that act must be supported by objectively reasonable facts that point to an
individualized suspicion in the eventual detainee. See Grimaldo v. State, 223
S.W.3d 429, 433–34 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2006, no pet.). Officer Oliver did not
provide any facts that connected White to the lookout or to the group of individuals
standing on the corner. Officer Oliver stated that he had not yet seen White when
the unidentified woman announced his presence. It was not until after the woman
alerted to Officer Oliver’s presence that White, from a different direction of the
individuals on the corner, came around a corner and walked toward the area of
                                         10
Officer Oliver. Officer Oliver never questioned any of the individuals on the
corner and did not observe any communication or interaction between those
individuals and White. We therefore agree with the trial court’s conclusion that
the unidentified female’s call of police presence is of minimal value when
determining the level of individualized suspicion as to White. See Martinez, 348
S.W.3d at 923 (stating that detaining officer must articulate specific facts that
connect detainee to unusual activity).
      We now turn to the third and fourth factors relied on by the State: White’s
nervousness and evasive behavior. A suspect’s nervousness or evasive behavior,
without more, does not furnish the minimal level of objective justification needed
for a detention. Hamal v. State, 390 S.W.3d 302, 308 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012).
While it is relevant in determining reasonable suspicion for an investigative
detention, nervousness and evasive behavior is not particularly probative because
most citizens with nothing to hide will nonetheless manifest an understandable
nervousness in the presence of a police officer. Wade v. State, 422 S.W.3d 661,
671 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). Furthermore, as an individual has the right to refuse
to answer the questions of a law enforcement officer and walk away unless the
officer has reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, a suspect’s action in walking
away cannot be characterized as evading. See Gurrola v. State, 877 S.W.2d 300,
303 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994). In turn, such action, including a refusal to cooperate,
may not give rise to reasonable suspicion without additional facts to justify an
investigative detention. See Wade, 422 S.W.3d at 674–75; see also Gurrola, 877
S.W.2d at 302–03 (holding that the defendant’s presence in area known for
criminal activity and the defendant’s walking away from police were insufficient to
support a finding of reasonable suspicion); Burton v. State, No. 14-08-00445-CR,
2009 WL 838271, at *4 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Mar. 31, 2009, pet.
ref’d) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (holding reasonable suspicion
                                         11
existed where officer observed the defendant, in a parking lot in a high crime area,
move away from officers and exchange something by hand with companion, who
exhibited fidgety behavior).
      Finally, the State relies on Officer Oliver’s training and experience as an
additional factor supporting reasonable suspicion. As with the other factors cited
by the State, law enforcement training or experience may factor into a reasonable
suspicion analysis, but reliance on special training is insufficient to establish
reasonable suspicion absent objective support. Ford, 158 S.W.3d at 494. This is
because objective facts, though meaningless to the untrained, when observed by
trained law enforcement officers, can be combined with permissible deductions to
create a legitimate basis for suspicion of a particular person. Id.
      The State cites Woods v. State, 970 S.W.2d 770 (Tex. App.—Austin 1998,
pet. ref’d), as a similar case that supports a finding of reasonable suspicion here.
In Woods, a security guard and a deputy sheriff observed a woman holding a purse
as she entered the Travis County Courthouse. 970 S.W.2d at 771–72. When the
woman saw a metal detector and X-ray machine at the security entrance, she
exhibited a surprised and scared look. Id. at 772. The woman then attempted to
enter through an entrance outside the secured area but encountered a posting that
stated all persons must be screened before entry. Id. The woman turned around
and started to walk back out the courthouse doors, but the security guard
confronted her. Id. The security guard became suspicious and told the woman not
to leave without running her purse through the X-ray machine, but the woman
disregarded his instruction and exited the courthouse. Id. The security guard
followed and stopped the woman, and then required her to pass her purse through
the X-ray machine. Id. The image from the machine revealed a firearm in the
woman’s purse. Id. Given these facts, the Austin Court of Appeals held that the


                                          12
detention was lawful because the security guard’s suspicion was reasonable. Id. at
774.
        The State accurately asserts that both Woods and the case at hand involve a
suspect who appeared to be nervous, ignored a call to stop from an officer, and
attempted to walk away. In addition, the State purports to analogize the officer’s
experience from Woods to Officer Oliver’s experience in this case. The security
guard in Woods testified that he had seen others exhibit similar behavior to the
woman’s and that that behavior usually meant the person had something in her
purse. Id. at 774. The security guard stated that he had seen a similar expression
on others’ faces before discovering a weapon or drugs on many occasions in the
past. Id.
        By contrast, in this case, Officer Oliver did not describe specific and
substantial factual similarities between White’s conduct and the conduct of others
that had been found to possess drugs or weapons in the past. Officer Oliver stated
that he had previously encountered a person who was found with a weapon in the
same area after having evaded Officer Oliver. But we decline to conclude that
White’s walking away from Officer Oliver, without changing pace or exhibiting
furtive gestures, constituted evasion. In addition, Officer Oliver admitted that he
made the decision to stop White before White ignored the officer’s command to
stop.    As we have previously stated, an officer may not gain the requisite
reasonable suspicion based on a suspect attempting to terminate a consensual
encounter, and nervousness alone is insufficient to justify an investigative
detention. See Gurrola, 877 S.W.2d at 303. Thus, Woods is distinguishable from
the case at hand.
        In sum, the State relies on five factors to justify Officer Oliver’s
investigative detention of White, but none of these factors alone are sufficient to
constitute reasonable suspicion.    We recognize that the reasonable suspicion
                                         13
analysis requires a determination based on the totality of the circumstances and
that we may not analyze each circumstance in a vacuum. See Hernandez v. State,
No. 11-08-00136-CR, 2009 WL 4931594, at *3 (Tex. App.—Eastland Dec. 17,
2009, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication). However, given the lack
of prominence attached to each of these factors and the lack of individualized
objective facts to support a suspicion that White was engaged in criminal activity,
we conclude that the combination of these factors did not create a legitimate basis
for White’s detention.
      Officer Oliver did not see anything in White’s hand and had no prior report
concerning specific criminal activity on that day by someone resembling White.
Moreover, Officer Oliver did not identify any specific activity by White that was
indicative of drug dealing or weapon handling. White merely turned a corner in a
high crime area and then nervously turned away from a police officer upon making
eye contact with him. These facts, under the totality of the circumstances, do not
reasonably suggest that White was engaged in criminal conduct. Accordingly, we
hold that the trial court did not err when it granted White’s motion to suppress on
the ground that Officer Oliver lacked reasonable suspicion to justify the
investigative detention. The State’s sole issue is overruled.
                              VI. This Court’s Ruling
      We affirm the order of the trial court.
