U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3535
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Loken, Circuit Judge, and
Phillips, District Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal case. Police officer did not unduly extend the
traffic stop once he had issued a warning ticket to defendant and returned
his documents as the officer had reasonable suspicion to extend the stop
based on defendant's behavior, his answers to the officer's questions and
conflicts between defendant's answers and his passenger's; even
assuming the officer lacked reasonable suspicion, defendant consented to
extension of the stop; evidence was sufficient to support defendant's
convictions for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and aiding and
abetting its distribution.
