United States v. Richmond, No. 10-2904 (7th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this Case
At 3:30 a.m., a police officer observed the defendant walking on a sidewalk with a waistband bulge that resembled a gun. After he called the defendant over, the defendant passed newspaper stands and the bulge disappeared. The defendant gave a false name, resulting in a "no record found" report. Suspicious, the officer did a pat down and found a gun and ski mask; he then learned that there were warrants on the defendant. Defendant entered a conditional plea of guilty as a felon in possession (18 U.S.C. 922(g)). The Seventh Circuit affirmed denial of a motion to suppress, finding that the officer acted on reasonable suspicion.
