D.Me.: Arrest outside master bedroom of known drug house justified protective sweep of bedroom

Defendant arrested 8′ from master bedroom in a house known for drug activity justified a protective sweep of the bedroom. United States v. Pemberton, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 146615 (D. Me. May 17, 2019),* adopted, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 145167 (D. Me. Aug. 27, 2019).*

Defendant stopped in a loading zone, and police blocked him in for illegal parking, in what the court finds was a justifiable stop. The smell of marijuana from his car justified its search. United States v. Bean, 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 25771 (7th Cir. Aug. 27, 2019).*

Defendant’s answers to basic questions and active nervousness supported the district court’s finding of reasonable suspicion. United States v. Williams, 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 25764 (5th Cir. Aug. 27, 2019).*
