U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-1392
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Benton and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Considering the totality of the
circumstances, the officer who stopped defendant for traffic offenses had
reasonable suspicion to extend the traffic stop so his canine could
conduct a drug sniff; the information the officer gathered after making
the decision to extend the the stop, such as finding the rental car's
spare tire in the back seat, elevated the reasonable suspicion to probable
cause to search the trunk of the vehicle.
