In White v. State, 208 Ga. App. 885, 887-888 (432 SE2d 562) (1993), the officer ran after a man suspected of cashing a bad check. After finding White cowering in the bushes, the officer handcuffed him. The Court found that the officer's actions were justified because: "The officer remains particularly vulnerable during such a stop precisely because a full custodial arrest has not been effected and the officer must make quick decisions as to how to protect himself and others from possible danger."
