United States Sixth Circuit

Conviction of defendant for drug and firearm related offenses is affirmed where: 1) there was sufficient evidence for a rational trier of fact to convict defendant on all counts; 2) there was sufficient evidence to support a denial of a motion of acquittal; 3) district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting two prior convictions under Rule 404(b); 4) district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting crack cocaine into evidence; 5) the dashboard video simply does not show that the officer planted the crack cocaine, and there is not basis in the evidence for finding outrageous government conduct; and 6) district court properly admitted the evidence seized during defendant's arrest.
