Title: Gibbs v. Delaware
Citation: N/A
Docket Number: 
State: Delaware
Issuer: Delaware Supreme Court
Date: December 1, 2015

Gibbs v. Delaware Annotate this Case Justia Opinion Summary Defendant-appellant Carlton Gibbs was the target of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. He had been wanted for a year prior to the Task Force's eventual arrest of Gibbs in April 2014. Gibbs was arrested for multiple charges, most of which stemmed from the car chase that ensued with members of the Task Force leading to Gibbs' arrest. Gibbs appealed the denial of his motion for judgment of acquittal on his eventual conviction on those multiple charges; Gibbs maintained: (1) he could not be found guilty of failing to stop at the command of a police officer because deputy United States Marshals did not qualify as police officers; and (2) he could not be found guilty of Title 21 offenses because he was on private property when they were alleged to have occurred. Finding no error, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed Gibbs' convictions. Read more Want to stay in the know about new opinions from the Delaware Supreme Court?
