U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-2316
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Melloy and Beam, Circuit
Judges]
Criminal Case - suppression and sentencing. Officers who observed
defendant pull a gun out of his pocket and believed him to be too young
to carry a concealed weapon had reasonable suspicion to stop vehicle and
had probable cause to search the vehicle, including the trunk. Defendant's
conviction for aiding a felon in the commission of an aggravated robbery,
included as an element the "use, attempted use, or threatened use of
physical force against the person of another" and thus qualified as a crime
of violence under section 4B1.2(a)(1).
