United States Second Circuit
US v. Singletary, 14-3242
On interlocutory appeal from an order suppressing drugs and a firearm seized incident to the arrest of defendant, the district court's order is reversed where the challenged stop was lawful under Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968), in that it was supported by reasonable suspicion of an open‐container violation, evidenced by such articulable, objective facts as defendant's observed carrying of a beer‐can‐sized object, concealed by a brown paper bag, and held in such a manner as to avoid spillage.
