U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 03-3388
Western District of Missouri
Criminal case - criminal law. Police had sufficient basis to conclude
that defendant's rental car should be impounded following his arrest for
drug possession, as there was no other driver available, and impoundment
was necessary to protect the vehicle; drugs found during ensuing
inventory search were admissible.
