Case Number: 
2012 IL App (4th) 110603
Decision Date: 
Tuesday, April 3, 2012
District: 
4th Dist.
Division/County: 
Jersey Co.
Holding: 
Reversed and remanded.
Justice: 
STEIGMANN
Court granted DUI Defendant's petition to rescind his statutory summary suspension and motion to quash arrest. Nonanonymous nature of tip of reckless driving, and quantity and detail of information in tip, were sufficient to assure officer could be certain he was stopping the correct vehicle. Interval of six minutes each between first tip call and second tip call and stop does not render information less reliable. Erratic driving reported is reasonable basis for making stop without first observing traffic violation. (APPLETON and KNECHT, concurring.)
