202298P.pdf   04/30/2021  United States  v.  Dennie Morris
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2298
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Stras, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. There is no dispute that the arresting 
   officer's decision to tow defendant's vehicle subsequent to defendant's 
   arrest was reasonable under the police department's tow policy, and 
   evidence found during the inventory search of the vehicle was admissible; 
   the court did not err in finding defendant had not maintained control or 
   possession of the vehicle while awaiting the arrival of a tow truck; the 
   need to conduct an inventory search of the vehicle's contents did not 
   constitute a pretext for an investigatory search.
