KEITH BRUMFIELD
On Supervisory Writ to the 24th Judicial District Court, Parish of Jefferson
PER CURIAM
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 (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 (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
