US v. Williams, No. 15-10008
(9-20-16)(Wallace w/Kozinski & Whaley, Sr. D.J.).
The 9th reversed the
suppression of a search of crack cocaine and a firearm. The 9th held that the officers had reasonable
suspicion of the defendant from a tip, his actions, and possible offense
(trespassing). The Gov't did not waive the argument that, after the initial
stop for reasonable suspicion, probable cause for arrest was developed for
violating a state statute (obstruction) that makes it unlawful not to flee and
to give identity when suspected of an offense. The 9th upheld the officer's
arrest of the defendant and the seizure of crack and a firearm.
