   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3532
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Police officer had reasonable suspicion to 
   make the traffic stop in question based on a automated systems report from 
   another police department that a person wanted for assault was associated 
   with the vehicle; no error in admitting evidence, under Rule 404(b), that 
   defendant had twice been convicted of illegal firearm possession; the 
   district court did not violate defendant's Sixth Amendment rights by 
   prohibiting his attorney from cross-examining two police officers about 
   their alleged motivation to falsely testify that defendant possessed a 
   firearm without first laying an evidentiary foundation for his claim the 
   officers planted the gun and perjured themselves; no error in admitting 
   heroin seized during the arrest as it provided motive and context for the 
   possession of the firearm. Judge Beam, concurring in the judgment.
