043190P.pdf   03/10/2006  United States  v.  Robert Leon Roberson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3190
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Fagg and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Warrant application 
   based on observation of drug trafficking by police officers and a 
   confidential informant established probable cause, and none of the 
   alleged misstatements or omissions pointed out by defendant materially 
   affected the probable cause finding; warrantless arrest was justified by 
   officers' observation of what they reasonably believed was drug 
   trafficking; officers had probable cause to search the vehicle in which 
   defendant was sitting at the time drugs were found in his house; district 
   court did not err in denying motion to disclose the identity of the 
   confidential informant; no error in admitting evidence of defendants' past 
   arrests for crack dealing, as the evidence went to intent and knowledge; 
   evidence was sufficient to support convictions for conspiracy to distribute 
   crack and for possession of the drug with intent to distribute; case 
   remanded for resentencing under Booker.
