   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1910
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit
   Judges]
   Criminal Case - suppression. Following traffic stop and fifteen-minute
   detention, officers compounded car and conducted a 4 hour search, which
   found 15 kilograms of cocaine in hidden compartment. Denial of motion
   to suppress is affirmed, as detention was not unreasonably long; asking
   brief questions lasting 25 seconds related to possible drug trafficking did
   not effect unreasonable seizure or contribute to the discovery of the
   cocaine. The canine sniff was not a search and district court's finding that
   dog's alert was reliable was not clearly erroneous and provided probable
   cause to search the interior.
