United States v. Montieth, No. 10-4264 (4th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of having used and carried a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime in violation of 18 U.S.C. 924(c)(1). Defendant appealed the district court's denial of his motion to suppress physical evidence recovered in search of his residence and statements he made to the police. The court concluded that the district court properly found that the search warrant was issued based on probable cause supplied by an officer's warrant affidavit. The court also concluded that the officers' traffic stop and detention of defendant did not violate the Fourth Amendment. Finally, the court rejected defendant's remaining Fourth and Fifth Amendment claims. Accordingly, the judgment was affirmed.
