Anthony George Herbert, Jr., was convicted in a stipulated bench trial of violating the Uniform Controlled Substances Act for possession of methamphetamine, RCW 69.50.4013. On appeal, he challenges the superior court’s denial of his suppression motion, arguing that the court erred in determining the point at which the seizure occurred. Herbert contends that he was seized when the arresting officer shined a spotlight on him, asked him about a parked vehicle, and called him over to talk. We disagree. The superior court correctly determined that the seizure occurred later when the officer informed Herbert that he was not free to leave and obtained his identification. At this point, the officer had a reasonable and articulable suspicion that justified seizing Herbert. Accordingly, we affirm.
