113181P.pdf   07/13/2012  United States  v.  Mario Riley
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-3181
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant's traffic violation provided probable cause to stop his vehicle; defendant's nervous behavior, conflicting answers and misrepresented criminal history gave the officer reasonable suspicion that defendant was engaged in illegal activity; questioning did not impermissibly extend the traffic stop or violate defendant's Fourth Amendment rights; time spent waiting for a drug detection dog was not unreasonable as the wait was unavoidable and was not the result of a lack of due diligence by the arresting officer; after the drug dog alerted, the officers were permitted to search the trunk of defendant's vehicle under the automobile exception to the warrant requirement, and the scope of the search did not violate the Fourth Amendment.
