In re Deshaun G.
Opinion of the Court
The Family Court properly denied that branch of the appellant’s omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence. The evidence presented at the suppression hearing established that there was a lawful basis to stop and detain the appellant as a suspected truant (see Education Law § 3213 [2]; Matter of Shannon B., 70 NY2d 458 [1987]; Matter of Kennedy T., 39 AD3d 408 [2007]; Matter of D’Angelo H., 184 AD2d 1039, 1040 [1992]; Matter of Devon B., 158 AD2d 519, 520 [1990]), and the pat down of the book bag which the appellant was holding was reasonable under the circumstances (see Matter of Bernard G., 247 AD2d 91, 93 [1998]; Matter of D’Angelo H., 184 AD2d at 1040; Matter of Mark Anthony G., 169 AD2d 89, 92-93 [1991]; Matter of Devon B., 158 AD2d at 520; Matter of Terrence G., 109 AD2d 440, 445-446 [1985]). Mastro, J.E, Florio, Eng and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
