United States Second Circuit
US v. Harrison, 09-2907
Defendant's possession with intent to distribute cocaine base conviction is affirmed where the time elapsed between the stop at issue and the arrest was only five to six minutes, and the questions about the passengers' comings and goings were subsumed in that brief interval, and this additional questioning did not prolong the stop so as to render it unconstitutional.
