091317P.pdf   10/28/2009  United States  v.  Scott Goodwin-Bey
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1317
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Melloy and Beam, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal Case - Suppression. Search of glove box incident to a traffic
   stop after officers conducted pat-down of the passengers, including the
   defendant, was justified because a reasonably prudent officer on the scene
   would be warranted in believing that defendant and his unsecured
   passengers were dangerous and might access the vehicle to gain
   immediate control of weapons. No need to consider whether officer
   lacked probable cause to search the vehicle under the automobile
   exception.
