   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2743
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The Terry stop executed in this case did not 
   transform into an arrest; when an officer has reason to believe the 
   suspect is armed, this court has held that drawing a firearm and 
   handcuffing the suspect does not automatically turn an investigatory stop 
   into an arrest; nor does placing a suspect in a squad car turn the stop 
   into an arrest; having found bullets in defendant's pocket, the officer 
   was warranted in seizing them; as the bullets were evidence of the crime 
   the officers were investigating - reckless discharge of a firearm - they 
   could be lawfully seized; the officers then had probable cause to search 
   the vehicle and seize the weapons they found there.
