[1] Lantz D. Garrett appeals his conviction for carrying a handgun without a
license as a class A misdemeanor. He raises two issues which we revise and
restate as:
I. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in admitting evidence
obtained following a pat-down; and
II. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in instructing the jury.
We affirm.
Facts and Procedural History
[2] At approximately 11:05 p.m. on August 5, 2016, Fort Wayne Police Officer
Jason Anthony was driving in his police cruiser in the 5200 block of Decatur
Road when he heard approximately sixteen gunshots. (Shortly after hearing the
gunshots, officers were dispatched to the alley near Spatz Avenue and Senate
Avenue regarding multiple residents calling to report that they heard gunshots
being fired in the area. Dispatch also stated that a caller indicated that the
gunshots were fired by a group of people that had just arrived in a silver gray
colored Impala.
[3] Fort Wayne Police Officer Jason Fuhrman responded to the dispatch of shots
fired and was the first officer at the scene less than one minute later. He
observed approximately ten to twelve people in the general area of the Impala,
exited his vehicle, took his handgun out, pointed it towards the ground, and
ordered the people to show him their hands. The people at the scene complied.
Officer Fuhrman observed a pair of brass knuckles on the ground behind the
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 2 of 16
front driver’s side tire. Officer Anthony arrived, observed approximately ten
people standing near the silver or gray Impala, and told Officer Fuhrman that
he had heard the shots. Garrett followed Officer Fuhrman’s orders to put his
hands up, walk to the sidewalk, and sit down. Officer Fuhrman and other
officers who had arrived on the scene began to pat down the individuals.
Officer Fuhrman patted down Garrett, who was the fourth or fifth person to be
patted down, and removed a handgun from his pocket. Fort Wayne Police
Detective Marc Deshaies arrived at the scene after officers had located the
firearm and spoke to Gilberto Garza, Sr.1
[4] In August 2016, the State charged Garrett with carrying a handgun without a
license as a class A misdemeanor. On November 14, 2016, Garrett filed a
motion to suppress and argued that the search and seizure violated his rights
under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1,
Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution. After a hearing, the trial court denied
Garrett’s motion to suppress.
[5] On January 11, 2017, the court held a jury trial. Garrett objected to the
admission of the gun, and the court overruled the objection. Officer Fuhrman
testified in part that Garza was in the whole group of people when he arrived
and that he did not pay attention to where Garza was located.
1
Detective Deshaies testified that “[t]here were actually two Gilberto Garza’s [sic]” and that “Gilberto
Garza, Sr. was not in the back yard when I arrived. He later arrived from around the front of the house when
I spoke with him.” Trial Transcript at 108-109.
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 3 of 16
[6] On direct examination, Detective Deshaies testified that the Impala was parked
in the alley behind a home and that the home’s address was 4401 Southpark.
When the prosecutor asked Detective Deshaies if he spoke to the homeowner
on August 5, 2016, Garrett’s counsel objected and the court sustained the
objection. When asked if he learned through his investigation who lived at the
residence, Garrett’s counsel objected, and the court stated: “I guess depending
on how he learned that you might be able to object and move to strike.”
Transcript at 101. The prosecutor then asked Detective Deshaies if he learned
that evening where Garrett lived, and Detective Deshaies testified that Garrett
did not live at “that residence.” Id. at 101. Garrett’s counsel objected, and the
court overruled the objection. When the prosecutor asked if he learned who
lived at 4401 Southpark Avenue, Detective Deshaies answered: “Yes. A male
identified that he lived there at the residence.” Id. at 104. Garrett’s counsel
objected on hearsay, and the court sustained the objection. Garrett’s counsel
moved to strike, and the court granted the motion. Detective Deshaies also
testified that he found twenty-five shell casings from three different calibers and
that the shells were found in the fenced-in yard and just outside the entrance to
that yard. He also testified that Garza was ticketed for firing a gun in the city
limits. After the State rested, Garrett’s counsel called Detective Deshaies and
asked him if he told Garza he could be charged with contributing to the
delinquency of a minor if minors were allowed to drink on his property, and
Detective Deshaies answered: “Yes sir, we had that conversation.” Id. at 117.
Detective Deshaies also testified that he had a long conversation with Garza
about the criminal consequences of people shooting guns off in his yard.
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 4 of 16
[7] Garrett proposed an instruction which stated in part:
It is a defense that the Defendant carried a handgun on or about
his body while lawfully present in or on property that is owned,
leased, rented, or otherwise legally controlled by another person,
if the Defendant had consent of the owner, renter, lessor, or
person who legally controls the property to have the handgun on
the premises at the time of the charged offense. The burden is on
the Defendant to prove this defense by a preponderance of the
evidence.
Appellant’s Appendix Volume II at 68. Garrett’s counsel argued:
In this case, we had the home owner, Gilberto Garza, we have
that evidence that was just given in Detective Deshaies[’s]
testimony, was present in his yard or in or around the property.
Within one minute of shots being fired, we have bullet casings all
over the ground. They’re all standing amongst casings all over
the ground. They’re all standing amongst bullet casings with the
property owner. I think there is at least a scintilla of evidence
and I think the jury should be allowed to decide whether there’s a
preponderance of the evidence to support the fact that Mr.
Garrett and all the other kids on that property had permission of
the property owner, Mr. Garza, who was present, to have
firearms on that property.
Trial Transcript at 128. The State argued that the evidence demonstrated only
that Garrett did not live at the residence, and the court denied Garrett’s
proposed instruction.
[8] The jury found Garrett guilty as charged. The court sentenced him to 365 days
with 185 days suspended.

Discussion
[9] The issue is whether the trial court abused its discretion in admitting evidence
of the search. The admission and exclusion of evidence falls within the sound
discretion of the trial court, and we review the admission of evidence only for
an abuse of discretion. Wilson v. State, 765 N.E.2d 1265, 1272 (Ind. 2002). An
abuse of discretion occurs “where the decision is clearly against the logic and
effect of the facts and circumstances.” Smith v. State, 754 N.E.2d 502, 504 (Ind.
2001). Even if the trial court’s decision was an abuse of discretion, we will not
reverse if the admission constituted harmless error. Fox v. State, 717 N.E.2d
957, 966 (Ind. Ct. App. 1999), reh’g denied, trans. denied. “[T]he ultimate
determination of the constitutionality of a search or seizure is a question of law
that we consider de novo.” Carpenter v. State, 18 N.E.3d 998, 1001 (Ind. 2014).
[10] In ruling on admissibility following the denial of a motion to suppress, the trial
court considers the foundational evidence presented at trial. Id. If the
foundational evidence at trial is not the same as that presented at the
suppression hearing, the trial court must make its decision based upon trial
evidence and may consider hearing evidence only if it does not conflict with
trial evidence. Guilmette v. State, 14 N.E.3d 38, 40 n.1 (Ind. 2014).
A. Fourth Amendment
[11] Garrett argues that Officer Fuhrman had no individualized suspicion that he
arrived in the Impala, was the shooter, or was armed and dangerous. The State
argues the search was reasonable as a brief pat-down designed to ensure officer
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 6 of 16
and public safety. The State points to the report of shots being fired, the
proximity of the car to Garrett, and that an officer heard approximately sixteen
shots. In reply, Garret asserts that the State has not alleged, nor could it given
the officers’ testimony, that the officers had reasonable suspicion that he was
the individual that was armed and dangerous. He asserts that the State has
omitted the “armed and dangerous” analysis set forth in Terry.
[12] The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides, in
pertinent part: “[t]he right of people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated . . . .” U.S. CONST. amend. IV. If the search is conducted without a
warrant, the State bears the burden to show that one of the well-delineated
exceptions to the warrant requirement applies. M.O. v. State, 63 N.E.3d 329,
331 (Ind. 2016).
[13] In Terry v. Ohio, the United States Supreme Court established the standard for
determining the constitutionality of investigatory stops. 392 U.S. 1, 88 S. Ct.
1868 (1968). The Court ruled that police may, without a warrant or probable
cause, briefly detain an individual for investigatory purposes if, based on
specific and articulable facts, the officer has a reasonable suspicion of criminal
activity. Id. at 27, 88 S. Ct. at 1883; see also Jackson v. State, 669 N.E.2d 744, 747
(Ind. Ct. App. 1996) (“In Terry, the Supreme Court held that ‘where a police
officer observes unusual conduct which leads him reasonably to conclude in
light of his experience that criminal activity may be afoot’ the officer may
briefly stop the suspicious person and make ‘reasonable inquiries’ to confirm or
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 7 of 16
dispel those suspicions.”) (quoting Terry, 392 U.S. at 30, 88 S. Ct. at 1884).
Reasonable suspicion exists if the facts known to the officer at the moment of
the stop, together with the reasonable inferences arising from such facts, would
cause an ordinarily prudent person to believe that criminal activity has occurred
or is about to occur. Powell v. State, 841 N.E.2d 1165, 1167 (Ind. Ct. App.
2006). In judging the reasonableness of investigatory stops, courts must strike
“a balance between the public interest and the individual’s right to personal
security free from arbitrary interference by law [enforcement] officers.” Carter v.
State, 692 N.E.2d 464, 466 (Ind. Ct. App. 1997) (quoting Brown v. Texas, 443
U.S. 47, 50, 99 S. Ct. 2637, 2640 (1979)). When balancing these competing
interests in different factual contexts, a central concern is “that an individual’s
reasonable expectation of privacy is not subject to arbitrary invasions solely at
the unfettered discretion of officers in the field.” Id. (citing Brown, 443 U.S. at
51, 99 S. Ct. at 2640). Therefore, in order to pass constitutional muster,
reasonable suspicion must be comprised of more than an officer’s general
“hunches” or unparticularized suspicions. Terry, 392 U.S. at 27, 88 S. Ct. at
1883. Whether an investigatory stop is justified is determined on a case by case
basis. Williams v. State, 745 N.E.2d 241, 245 (Ind. Ct. App. 2001). In making
this determination, we consider the totality of the circumstances. Id. “Judicial
interpretation of what constitutes ‘reasonable suspicion’ is fact-sensitive.”
Bridgewater v. State, 793 N.E.2d 1097, 1100 (Ind. Ct. App. 2003), trans. denied.
[14] In Terry, the United States Supreme Court held:
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 8 of 16
The scheme of the Fourth Amendment becomes meaningful only
when it is assured that at some point the conduct of those
charged with enforcing the laws can be subjected to the more
detached, neutral scrutiny of a judge who must evaluate the
reasonableness of a particular search or seizure in light of the
particular circumstances. And in making that assessment it is
imperative that the facts be judged against an objective standard:
would the facts available to the officer at the moment of the
seizure or the search ‘warrant a man of reasonable caution in the
belief’ that the action taken was appropriate?
392 U.S. at 21-22, 88 S. Ct. at 1880 (footnote omitted).
[15] To the extent Garrett challenges the initial stop, we observe that Officer
Fuhrman was responding to a scene at which shots had been fired, he arrived at
the scene less than one minute after dispatch, and the Impala and a “group of
people” mentioned by dispatch were present at the scene. Trial Transcript at
32. Under these circumstances, we conclude that Officer Fuhrman had
reasonable suspicion to conduct an investigatory stop.
[16] As for the pat-down, the Terry Court permitted
a reasonable search for weapons for the protection of the police
officer, where he has reason to believe that he is dealing with an
armed and dangerous individual, regardless of whether he has
probable cause to arrest the individual for a crime. The officer
need not be absolutely certain that the individual is armed; the
issue is whether a reasonably prudent man in the circumstances
would be warranted in the belief that his safety or that of others
was in danger.
392 U.S. 1 at 27, 88 S. Ct. at 1883. The Court concluded that
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 9 of 16
where a police officer observes unusual conduct which leads him
reasonably to conclude in light of his experience that criminal
activity may be afoot and that the persons with whom he is
dealing may be armed and presently dangerous, where in the
course of investigating this behavior he identifies himself as a
policeman and makes reasonable inquiries, and where nothing in
the initial stages of the encounter serves to dispel his reasonable
fear for his own or others’ safety, he is entitled for the protection
of himself and others in the area to conduct a carefully limited
search of the outer clothing of such persons in an attempt to
discover weapons which might be used to assault him.
Id. at 30, 88 S. Ct. at 1884-1885.
[17] “Police may not frisk for weapons ‘on less than reasonable belief or suspicion
directed at the person to be frisked.’” Wilson v. State, 745 N.E.2d 789, 792 (Ind.
2001) (quoting Ybarra v. Illinois, 444 U.S. 85, 94, 100 S. Ct. 338, 343 (1979)).
“An officer’s authority to conduct a pat-down search is dependent upon the
nature and extent of his particularized concern for his safety and that of others.”
Id. (citing Mitchell v. State, 745 N.E.2d 775, 781 (Ind. 2001)).
[18] While Garrett complied generally and the officers did not observe threatening
behaviors from him or any bulges in his clothing, the officers were responding
to a call of shots fired. The record reveals that Officer Anthony heard
approximately sixteen gunshots and told Officer Fuhrman that he heard the
shots. Shortly after hearing the gunshots, officers were dispatched to the alley
due to multiple residents calling to report they had heard gunshots fired in the
area. Upon arriving at the scene less than one minute later, Officer Fuhrman
discovered a group of ten or twelve individuals, the Impala that was described
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 10 of 16
in the dispatch, and a pair of brass knuckles on the ground behind the front
driver’s side tire. When asked why he patted down the people at the scene,
Officer Fuhrman testified, “Basically because I wanted to talk to them about
what was going on, see if they . . . originally for officer safety, make sure there
weren’t any weapons there so we could all feel more comfortable when we were
talking to each other and something that we don’t have to worry about after we
check them.” Trial Transcript at 55. He added: “And with the fact that there
were shots, the shots fired that Officer Anthony heard and the other people
called about that there’s, again, I wanted to make sure there wasn’t a weapon
on any of the people that were there.” Id. at 55-56. Officer Anthony testified
that the pat-down was conducted for officer safety. Detective Deshaies testified
that the “safety measure goes for the officer that’s arriving at the scene, but as
well as everyone that could be an innocent person on the scene to ensure a
limited frisk of the exterior of the clothing, to ensure that there’s not a weapon
present that could be utilized.” Id. at 95.
[19] In light of the nature of the call of shots fired, the number of shots fired, the
multiple people that called 911, the presence of the group of people and the
Impala as described in the dispatch, and Officer Fuhrman’s arrival on the scene
less than one minute later, we conclude that the State demonstrated that a
reasonably prudent man in the circumstances would be warranted in the belief
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 11 of 16
that his safety or that of others was in danger. Accordingly, we cannot say that
Garrett’s rights under the Fourth Amendment were violated. 2
B. Article 1, Section 11
[20] Garrett argues that the officers had no individualized suspicion that he
committed any crime or violation, the pat-down resulted in a high degree of
intrusion, and, while there was a need for officers to use caution during the
investigation, the officers should have made inquiries while the group stood
with their hands on their heads instead of proceeding directly to a search of the
entire group. The State asserts that the degree of suspicion that a violation had
occurred was great, the degree of intrusion was minimal, and the extent of law
enforcement needs was high.
[21] Article 1, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution provides:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers, and effects, against unreasonable search or seizure, shall
not be violated; and no warrant shall issue, but upon probable
cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly
2
Garrett cites United States v. Williams, 731 F.3d 678, 690 (7th Cir. 2013), in which the court concluded that
an officer lacked reasonable suspicion to conduct a frisk of the defendant at the time the frisk began, in
violation of the defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights. In that case, an anonymous 911 caller, who refused
to provide her name, reported a group of twenty-five individuals acting loudly and displaying handguns in a
parking lot. 731 F.3d at 680-681. The officers arrived at the scene three to five minutes after the call and
observed a “much different scene than that reported by the anonymous caller.” Id. at 681. “Instead of seeing
a group of twenty-five belligerent men, the officers discovered only eight to ten individuals standing around a
group of cars in the parking lot.” Id. Unlike Williams, the present case involved a call of multiple shots fired,
multiple people called 911, Officer Fuhrman arrived at the scene in less than one minute, and a group of
people and the Impala as mentioned in the dispatch were present at the scene. Accordingly, we find Williams
distinguishable.
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 12 of 16
describing the place to be searched, and the person or thing to be
seized.
[22] Although its text mirrors the federal Fourth Amendment, we interpret Article 1,
§ 11 of our Indiana Constitution separately and independently. Robinson v.
State, 5 N.E.3d 362, 368 (Ind. 2014). “When a defendant raises a Section 11
claim, the State must show the police conduct ‘was reasonable under the
totality of the circumstances.’” Id. (quoting State v. Washington, 898 N.E.2d
1200, 1205-1206 (Ind. 2008), reh’g denied). “The focus of the exclusionary rule
under the Indiana Constitution is the reasonableness of police conduct.”
Hardister v. State, 849 N.E.2d 563, 573 (Ind. 2006). “We consider three factors
when evaluating reasonableness: ‘1) the degree of concern, suspicion, or
knowledge that a violation has occurred, 2) the degree of intrusion the method
of the search or seizure imposes on the citizen’s ordinary activities, and 3) the
extent of law enforcement needs.’” Robinson, 5 N.E.3d at 368 (quoting Litchfield
v. State, 824 N.E.2d 356, 361 (Ind. 2005)).
[23] With respect to the degree of concern, suspicion, or knowledge that a violation
has occurred, multiple people called 911 and reported shots fired, Officer
Anthony heard approximately sixteen shots, and Officer Fuhrman arrived on
the scene less than a minute after dispatch and saw the Impala described in the
dispatch. As for the degree of intrusion, Officer Fuhrman conducted a pat-
down of Garrett’s outer clothing. Under the circumstances, the degree of
intrusion was not high. Finally, the extent of law enforcement needs for their
own protection and the protection of the public was strong given the
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 13 of 16
circumstances leading to the pat-down. Under the totality of the circumstances,
we conclude that the pat-down was reasonable and did not violate Garrett’s
rights under Article 1, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution.
II.
[24] The next issue is whether the trial court abused its discretion in instructing the
jury. Generally, “[t]he purpose of an instruction is to inform the jury of the law
applicable to the facts without misleading the jury and to enable it to
comprehend the case clearly and arrive at a just, fair, and correct verdict.”
Overstreet v. State, 783 N.E.2d 1140, 1163 (Ind. 2003), cert. denied, 540 U.S. 1150,
124 S. Ct. 1145 (2004). Instruction of the jury is generally within the discretion
of the trial court and is reviewed only for an abuse of that discretion. Id. at
1163-1164. To constitute an abuse of discretion, the instruction given must be
erroneous, and the instructions taken as a whole must misstate the law or
otherwise mislead the jury. Benefiel v. State, 716 N.E.2d 906, 914 (Ind. 1999),
reh’g denied, cert. denied, 531 U.S. 830, 121 S. Ct. 83 (2000). When reviewing the
refusal to give a proposed instruction, this court considers: (1) whether the
proposed instruction correctly states the law; (2) whether the evidence supports
giving the instruction; and (3) whether other instructions already given cover
the substance of the proposed instruction. Driver v. State, 760 N.E.2d 611, 612
(Ind. 2002). “Even if there is only a ‘scintilla’ of evidence in support of a
criminal defendant’s proposed defense instruction, it should be left to the
province of the jury to determine whether that evidence is believable or
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 14 of 16
unbelievable.” Hernandez v. State, 45 N.E.3d 373, 378 (Ind. 2015) (quoting
Howard v. State, 755 N.E.2d 242, 247-248 (Ind. Ct. App. 2001)).
[25] Before a defendant is entitled to a reversal, he must affirmatively show that the
erroneous instruction prejudiced his substantial rights. Lee v. State, 964 N.E.2d
859, 862 (Ind. Ct. App. 2012) (citing Gantt v. State, 825 N.E.2d 874, 877 (Ind.
Ct. App. 2005)), trans. denied. An error is to be disregarded as harmless unless it
affects the substantial rights of a party. Id. (citing Oatts v. State, 899 N.E.2d 714,
727 (Ind. Ct. App. 2009); Ind. Trial Rule 61).
[26] Garrett argues that the jury could have concluded that the homeowner, Garza,
gave consent to the occupants of his yard to possess handguns and the trial
court erred by invading the province of the jury and refusing to instruct the jury
on the affirmative defense. The State argues that the record did not support
giving Garrett’s instruction and that there was not even a scintilla of evidence
that he possessed his gun exclusively while on the property owned by Garza, or
that Garza, as homeowner, consented.
[27] At the time of the offense, Ind. Code § 35-47-2-1(b) provided in part:
Except as provided in subsection (c), a person may carry a
handgun without being licensed under this chapter to carry a
handgun if:
*****
(2) the person carries the handgun on or about the person’s
body while lawfully present in or on property that is
Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 02A03-1702-CR-294 | September 28, 2017 Page 15 of 16
owned, leased, rented, or otherwise legally controlled by
another person, if the person:
(A) has the consent of the owner, renter, lessor, or
person who legally controls the property to have the
handgun on the premises;[3]
[28] On appeal, Garrett asserts that Garza owned the property where the bullet
casings were found and cites page 96 of the transcript. Our review of page 96 of
the transcript does not reveal that Garza owned the particular property. 4 The
record does not contain evidence that Garza gave Garrett consent to have the
handgun on his premises. Further, Detective Deshaies testified that shells were
found in the fenced-in yard and outside the entrance to that yard. We cannot
say that the evidence supports giving Garrett’s proposed instruction or that the
trial court abused its discretion in refusing the instruction.
Conclusion
[29] For the foregoing reasons, we affirm Garrett’s conviction.
[30] Affirmed.

As noted, when the prosecutor asked Detective Deshaies if he learned who lived at 4401 Southpark
Avenue, Detective Deshaies answered: “Yes. A male identified that he lived there at the residence.” Id. at
104. Garrett’s counsel objected on hearsay, and the court sustained the objection.
