United States v. Bay, No. 10-3262 (8th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of three counts relating to possession and manufacture of methamphetamine and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Defendant appealed the district court's denial of his motions to suppress evidence and statements. The court held that because the district court did not clearly err in finding that defendant was outside his home at the time he was seized and because there was reasonable suspicion to support a Terry v. Ohio stop, the seizure of defendant's person was valid under the Fourth Amendment. Therefore, the court concluded that the evidence subsequently discovered and statements subsequently made were admissible.
