In this case, our client was facing their second OUI charge. The officer alleged in the police report that the defendant was driving erratically after receiving a tip from an unknown source. Attorney DelSignore filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that the officer did not have reasonable suspicion to stop the vehicle.
