D.Colo.: Admission during stop defendant was in U.S. illegally justified further detention

Ten minutes later, the officer saw defendant driving a car, and that was reasonable suspicion he was DUI, and the stop was justified. Chagrin Falls v. Bloom, 2015-Ohio-2264, 2015 Ohio App. LEXIS 2173 (8th Dist. June 11, 2015).*
