Officer Peterson testified that the informant described four individuals by gender, race, and clothing description. The informant also gave the geographical location of the persons in question . The officer s independent verification of the details of the tip corroborated it. Officer Peterson proceeded toward 19th and Portland and saw three people walking less than half a block from the reported incident, two of whom matched descriptions from the group reported by the caller. The informant s tip was not the sole circumstance leading to the suspicion of Keatan.
Evasive conduct can be sufficient to conduct a stop.
Once the officers stepped out of their car and asked to speak to Keatan, Keatan ran. Reversed and remanded.
