United States Eighth Circuit

A conviction for a methamphetamine-related offense is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not err in determining police had probable cause to stop defendant's vehicle; 2) her detention and the expansion of the stop were justified by a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity; 3) she consented to the search of the vehicle and her post-Miranda statements were voluntary; and 4) the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction.
