U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-3756
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The affidavit submitted in support of a
search warrant for defendant's plane established probable cause as it
showed the drug dog was reliable and had alerted on the aircraft; in
addition the other facts submitted in support of the warrant application -
defendant's recent purchase of the plane and his limited flying
experience, his diversion from his filed flight plan and his evasive
behavior - buttressed the probable cause finding; because there was
probable cause that the plane contained evidence of a crime, the plane
could be held until the warrant issued.
