United States v. McBride, No. 10-5162 (4th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and knowingly using and carrying a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. The court held that the detention of defendant's vehicle was valid, but that the district court improperly admitted certain prior "bad act" evidence of his statements showing his knowledge of crack cocaine and his willingness to manufacture and distribute it. Accordingly, the court affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded the case to the district court.
