Flight Elevated Level of Suspicion and Justified Pursuit.

The police received a late-night report that three men had committed a robbery and fled into a park. At the park, the police saw the defendant and two other men.  The defendant’s flight upon seeing the officers, who were in plainclothes and were getting out of an unmarked police car, “elevated the level of suspicion to reasonable suspicion of criminality and justified pursuit.”  People v Pitman, 9092, Ind. 2908/10 First Dept. 1-29-13
