1. “The officers received detailed and specific information regarding the physical description of the women observed snorting cocaine and their vehicle. The officers were, shortly thereafter, able to corroborate this information when they observed the two women leave the nightclub and drive away in the vehicle. At this time, the officers had a well[-]founded suspicion to initiate the investigatory stop. Therefore, the stop and subsequent consent were valid, and the trial court erred in suppressing the evidence seized.”
