United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction for possession of a firearm by a felon is affirmed where the district court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress evidence since officers- conduct during their investigation of defendant did not transform the permissible investigatory stop into a custodial arrest that would have been impermissible given the lack of probable cause.
