[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. Police department's towing policy contained sufficiently standardized procedures for the arresting officer to inventory the contents of defendant Perez-Trevino's vehicle and its compartments;the car's occupants' contradictory statements, as well as the marijuana and other evidence of drug use the officer found, provided probable cause to open a cooler in the car, and the methamphetamine found in the cooler was admissible; wiretap application provided sufficient information to establish probable cause that evidence of criminal activity would be found, as well as the need to use a wiretap; evidence was sufficient to support defendant Perez-Trevino's conspiracy conviction; no error in denying defendant's Perez-Trevino's proposed instruction on multiple conspiracies as the evidence at trial easily supported a finding of a single conspiracy; various evidentiary challenges rejected; the district court correctly calculated defendant Flores's advisory guidelines range and imposed a substantially reasonable sentence; defendant Castellano failed to meet her burden of proof on her claim she should be entitled to a minor-role reduction; evidence supported the district court's drug quantity calculation for Castellano, and her sentence was substantially reasonable.
