United States v. Williams, No. 17-30198 (5th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseThe Fifth Circuit affirmed defendant's motions to suppress evidence filed after defendant pleaded guilty to drug-related charges. The court held that officers had reasonable suspicion to conduct the searches of defendant's residence, his dealership, and his mother's home; an officer's Terry-style frisk of defendant once he arrived at the dealership to transport defendant to his residence was proper given the visible bulges in defendant's pockets that were large enough to conceal weapons; and thus the district court did not err by denying the motions to suppress.
