State v. Rodriguez, 852 N.W.2d 705

Rodriguez was convicted of DUI with a BAC over .15, third offense, in Scotts Bluff County after a traffic stop
Officer Kleensang stopped Rodriguez based on a dispatch report of a disturbance and a vehicle description
During the stop, observations included odor of alcohol, flushed appearance, slurred speech, and bloodshot eyes; Rodriguez submitted to breath tests
Evidence later revealed two baggies of substances found in Rodriguez's wallet; one substance was cocaine; the other not a controlled substance
Rodriguez moved to suppress evidence from the stop, arguing the anonymous tip lacked corroboration; the district court denied the motion
Court of Appeals affirmed; the Supreme Court granted further review to address suppression and related issues

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Was the traffic stop justified by reasonable suspicion?	Rodriguez	State	Stop not justified; suppression reversed
Did State's misconduct regarding the methamphetamine charge require mistrial or affect the outcome?	Rodriguez	State	Disapproved but remand renders point unnecessary to decide
