You are certified state peace officer in roll call for the night shift, which is from 11 pm until 7 am.  The Sergeant is giving information for all the beats and assigns you to Beat 4.  As you are assigned to Beat 4, the Sergeant tells you that there have been seven break-ins reported in your area in home owner’s garages during the past week.  The fear, beside the loss of property, is that the “garage burglar” may morph into home burglaries.  Sarge tells you that several garage burglary victims gave a description of a slender white male with “scraggly long blonde hair” and that all incidents transpired between 2 and 4 am. While on patrol in the area the Sarge mentioned at 2:45 am, you notice a slender white male with blonde hair standing on a corner sitting on a bicycle.  Do you have enough “reasonable suspicion” to stop this individual under Terry? TRUE = Yes FALSE = No
