United States Eighth Circuit

A conviction for possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver is affirmed over a claim of erroneous denial of a suppression motion where: 1) defendant placed no limitations on his consent to a search of his vehicle, and officer did not exceed the scope of consent when he removed certain scarred screws and opened a panel; and 2) there was no clear error in a finding that defendant's post-Miranda statements were admissible as he had not invoked his right to remain silent, and officers did not need to re-read Miranda warnings to defendant prior to interrogation.
