Upon appeal from the Superior Court. REVERSED and REMANDED.

A Superior Court jury convicted Appellant, Defendant-below, Ahkee Flonnory of Possession with Intent to Deliver Cocaine and Conspiracy in the Second Degree. In this appeal, we reverse the judgment of the Superior Court because it erred in denying defense counsel’s Motion to Suppress evidence that the police invalidity seized from Defendant’s car in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 6 of the Delaware Constitution. We conclude that agents of the State may stop and detain an individual only when they have a reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal activity. Because we find that the police failed to demonstrate a reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal activity when they detained Appellant, any evidence then or later seized by the police from his car and resulting from the invalid detention and search was inadmissible.
