NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF
PENNSYLVANIA
Appellant
v.
NATHANIEL LEE BROWN,
Appellee No. 623 WDA 2014
Appeal from the Order entered March 21, 2014,
in the Court of Common Pleas of Butler County,
Criminal Division, at No(s): CP-10-CR-0001974-2013
BEFORE: FORD ELLIOTT, P.J.E., DONOHUE, and ALLEN, JJ.
JUDGMENT ORDER BY ALLEN, J.: FILED JANUARY 16, 2015
In this appeal, the Commonwealth contends that the trial court erred
in granting Appellee’s suppression motion because the Slippery Rock
University campus police officer who stopped Appellee’s vehicle on Kiester
Road had authority to do so under 24 P.S. § 20-2019-A of the Public School
Code of 1949, and 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 8953(a)(2) of the Judicial Code. Kiester
Road runs through Slippery Rock University but is not owned by the
University; it is maintained by Slippery Rock Borough. Trial Court
Memorandum and Opinion, 3/21/14, at 1.
We recently rejected this same argument in a case involving a stop by
Slippery Rock University campus police on Kiester Road. See generally,
Commonwealth v. Boyles, 2014 PA Super 244, ___ A.3d ___ (Pa. Super.
2014). Because the Boyles decision controls the disposition of the instant
J-A01033-15
appeal, we affirm the trial court’s order granting Appellee’s suppression
motion.
Order affirmed.
Judgment Entered.
