However in Jones v. State the court affirmed the trial court's denial of the suppression motion or car was stopped at 9:30 PM leaving a new and unoccupied subdivision in which some vandalism had occurred. The only unusual conduct referred to was that the vehicle did not have its lights on tell the driver saw the officer's car. In Watson v. State the court affirmed a finding that the stop of an automobile was justified where officer had seen the defendant and his 2 companions in a high drug area several times during one day and the occupants looked away from the officers each time.  In Evans v.
