U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Southern
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Erickson and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The officers knew facts which created a
reasonable and articulable suspicion that defendant was engaging in drug
activities, and the Terry stop was warranted; on these facts, the officers
used reasonable force to detain defendant; the officers could deploy a
taser because defendant's actions had established probable cause for his
arrest.
