Court granted Defendant's motion to quash his arrest and suppress evidence. Because an identified citizen informant reported, via 911, the smellĀ of burnt cannabis coming from Defendant's vehicle, police had reasonable suspicion to stop Defendant's vehicle. Various factors demonstrate sufficient reliability of information. (HUDSON and McLAREN, concurring.)
