   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1455
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Gruender, Circuit Judge, and Reade, District Judge] Criminal case - Criminal law. Information provided by a confidential informant, together with corroborating evidence gathered during the investigation, established probable cause to believe defendant committed a drug trafficking offense and that evidence of the offense was contained in his vehicle; evidence seized in the search, as well as defendant's incriminating statements, held admissible; drug dog's failure to alert on the car was relevant to the probable cause determination, but was not determinative; police may consider other, pre-existing information in making the objective determination as to whether there is a fair probability that evidence of the crime is in the vehicle.
