U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-1787
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Southern
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Law enforcement officers had probable cause
to conduct the traffic stop based on defendant's traffic offense and on
the collective knowledge of the officers conducting the investigation into
defendant's alleged drug dealing; the state troopers who conducted the
stop did not illegally prolong the stop in order to conduct a drug-dog
search; the dog's alert was sufficient to alert the trooper to a positive
result and the record showed the dog was reliable; the alert gave the
officers probable cause to search the defendant's vehicles.
