United States Fifth Circuit

Defendant's conviction for possession with intent to distribute more than 500 grams of methamphetamine is affirmed where: 1) there was sufficient suspicious circumstantial evidence to support the search of defendant's vehicle and defendant's conviction; and 2) although an officer presented impermissible drug courier profile evidence at defendant's trial, this testimony did not affect defendant's substantial rights.
