Opinion

Submitted on Briefs November 10, 1988.

Decided November 18, 1988.

Appeal from the Appeal from Superior Court, Sagadahoc County.

William R. Anderson, Dist. Atty., Geoffrey Rushlau, Asst. Dist. Atty., Bath, for plaintiff.

Peter B. Mills, Portland, for defendant.

Before ROBERTS, WATHEN, GLASSMAN, CLIFFORD, HORNBY and COLLINS, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.

Contrary to the contention of Sherwood Beaulieu on his appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court (Sagadahoc County, Perkins, J.), entered on a conditional plea of guilty to a violation of 29 M.R.S.A. § 1312-B (Supp. 1988) (operating under the influence), that the District Court (Bath, O'Rourke, J.) erroneously denied Beaulieu's motion to suppress evidence obtained from a stop, the record supports the court's finding that based on an anonymous tip the arresting officer had a reasonable and articulable suspicion that Beaulieu was engaged in criminal activity when he stopped the car operated by Beaulieu. See State v. Fillion, 474 A.2d 187, 190 (Me. 1984); State v. Hasenbank, 425 A.2d 1330, 1332-33 (Me. 1981).

The entry is:

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.

All concurring.
