The officer watched defendant walking and get into the passenger seat of a car. As the car drove off, he noticed the rear deck brake light was out. That justified a stop, and marijuana was smelled, and that led to a search and a gun. Smith v. State, 2013 Md. App. LEXIS 127 (September 10, 2013).* Officers knew of a shooting two hours earlier, and defendant was seen by an officer with a weapon. That supported his stop, and it didn’t become an arrest until he was found to be a felon. United States v. Fountain, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 128873 (N.D. Fla. September 10, 2013).* The several search warrants in this case were all issued with probable cause. United States v. Broulik, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 129176 (D. Minn. July 15, 2013).*
