00-2877 State v. Blue

By: dmc-admin//October 29, 2001//

Listen to this article

The State appeals from a trial court order suppressing evidence resulting from an investigative stop of Kenneth Blue. A police officer approached Blue’s vehicle based on information obtained from an anonymous tip. During the approach, the officer observed suspicious behavior inside Blue’s vehicle. The State contends that the anonymous tip, when bolstered by the officer’s own observations, provided the officer with reasonable suspicion to stop Blue. Based on our supreme court’s recent decision in State v. Williams, 2001 WI 21, 241 Wis.2d 631, 623 N.W.2d 106, we agree.

We therefore reverse the trial court’s suppression order and remand for further proceedings.
