U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-3234
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant's moving violation provided
probable cause to support a traffic stop and any ulterior motive on the
officer's part was irrelevant; given the facts and timing in the case, the
district court did not err in determining the officers did not unlawfully
prolong the stop to conduct a drug dog sniff; challenge to drug dog's
alert rejected.
