United States Fourth Circuit

Vacating a conviction for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine because the district court wrongfully denied a motion to suppress evidence recovered from a dog sniff conducted after an already complete traffic stop because the officer had no reasonable, articulable suspicion of ongoing criminal activity to justify the prolonged stop, violating the defendant's Fourth Amendment right to be free of unreasonable seizures.
