United States Tenth Circuit
US v. Simpson, 09-4127
Defendant's drug trafficking conviction is affirmed where the district court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress narcotics found in his vehicle because defendant's prior criminal conviction for drug trafficking, his extreme nervousness, and the fact that he provided inconsistent and evasive answers to queries about his travel plans, together provided reasonable suspicion to justify extending a legitimate traffic stop to allow further questioning and a canine sniff of his automobile.
