   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2747
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Melloy and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Officer's mistaken belief that the car 
   involved was stolen based upon his misreading of a daily list of stolen 
   vehicles was objectively reasonable under the fact presented, and the 
   officer had sufficient reasonable suspicion to perform an investigatory 
   search; given the facts presented, the officers were warranted in 
   continuing the stop after they verified the car was not stolen; expired 
   tags, evasive answers by the bystanders, misrepresentation that the car 
   had been at the address all day and the refusal of any one present to 
   identify the owner all created a reasonable suspicion that criminal 
   activity, separate from auto theft, was afoot; because the officers did 
   not unreasonably extend the stop, their observation of narcotics and a 
   firearm provided them with probable cause to tow the vehicle and perform 
   the inventory search which discovered the weapons which formed the basis 
   for defendant's felon-in-possession charge.
