United States Fifth Circuit

A conviction for drug- and firearm-related offenses is affirmed over a claim of erroneous denial of defendant's motion to suppress certain evidence where, in the context of the totality of circumstances confronting him, a police officer had "a reasonable suspicion supported by articulable facts that criminal activity may be afoot" when he stopped defendant's Jeep.
