Aaron Tuomi appeals an order denying suppression of evidence obtained during a traffic stop. He also appeals his resulting conviction for operating with a prohibited blood alcohol concentration (OWPAC), second offense. Tuomi argues that an anonymous tip reporting he had backed into another vehicle and fled the scene did not provide police with reasonable suspicion to stop him.
Because we agree that the tip did not provide the police with reasonable suspicion to make a traffic stop, we reverse the order denying the suppression motion and the judgment of conviction.
This opinion will not be published.
