The court's finding that the encounter between the officer and the defendant was lawful is supported by the evidence. The anonymous tip in this case was sufficiently detailed to allow the officer to identify the defendant at the donut shop, and activated the officer's common law right to approach the suspect to obtain explanatory information (see, People v. De Bour, 40 N.Y.2d 210, 221). The fact that the officer had drawn and concealed his gun did not make the inquiry impermissively coercive because there was no evidence that defendant saw the gun, and the officer's actions were warranted by the time and location of the events and the fact that he had just reason to suspect that the defendant was armed (see, supra).
