U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-2264
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Smith and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - suppression. Considering the totality of the
circumstances, officers had a reasonable articulable grounds to suspect
that criminal activity was afoot after officer observed defendant, who was
unknown to the residents, working on a car with plates registered to a
different car that was outside a home with history of illegal drug activity.
After officer had reasonable suspicion that car might have been stolen,
conducting Terry stop was proper and district court did not err in denying
motion to suppress.
