State of LOUISIANA v. Keith BRUMFIELD
Writ granted. Based on the evidence presented below, the anonymous tip lacked sufficient information, and officers made no corroborating observations. Thus, officers lacked reasonable suspicion to support the investigatory stop of the defendant. Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 88 S.Ct. 1868, 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968). Therefore, all evidence obtained from the unlawful stop must be suppressed. Segura v. United States, 468 U.S. 796, 804, 104 S. Ct. 3380, 3385, 82 L.Ed.2d 599 (1984). The trial court's denial of the defendant's motion to suppress is reversed and the matter is remanded for further proceedings.
REVERSED AND REMANDED
PER CURIAM.
Weimer, C.J., dissents. Crain, J., dissents. Cole, J., dissents.
