Description
SYLLABUS BY THE COURT 1. "Where a police officer making a lawful investigatory stop has reason to believe that an individual is armed and dangerous,
that officer, in order to protect himself and others, may conduct a search for concealed weapons, regardless of whether he
has probable cause to arrest the individual for a crime. The officer need not be certain that the individual is armed; the
inquiry is whether a reasonably prudent man would be warranted in the belief that his safety or that of others was endangered.
