United States v. Bumper, No. 11-4689 (4th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm. On appeal, defendant challenged the district court's denial of his motion to suppress the firearm that was the basis of the conviction. The court held that the district court did not err in concluding that the officer possessed a reasonable suspicion that defendant was trespassing at the time of the Terry stop. The court rejected defendant's argument that the officer's decision to stop him for investigatory purposes was unreasonable because other less intrusive investigatory techniques could have been used because the issue had already been considered and rejected by the Supreme Court. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
