Honaker v.
Commonwealth
Facts:
Deputies had
responded to a second domestic violence call. The appellate court held that the
weapons frisk violated the Fourth Amendment because the presence of a bulge in
defendant's pocket was insufficient under the facts of the case to provide
reasonable suspicion that defendant was armed and dangerous..

Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- When an officer attempts
to arrest a person charged with a felony and uses more force than is
reasonably necessary to make the arrest, the officer himself becomes a
wrongdoer and the person whose arrest is sought, if himself without fault,
can resist such excessive force. Whether the force used is reasonable is a
mixed question of law and fact. In reviewing the factual predicate for the
trial court's ruling, the appellate court views the evidence in the light
most favorable to the Commonwealth..
