U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-2613
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Smith and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Probable cause existed to arrest
defendant for possession of counterfeit checks, and the search of his car
was a lawful search incident to arrest as the officers had reason to believe
the vehicle contained evidence of the offense; the luggage stored on the
motel luggage cart could be searched as there was a reasonable
probability that the evidence on the cart would have been discovered after
defendant's arrest during an inventory search.
