An officer attempted to pull over a car based on an anonymous 911 tip that people who were in a crashed car got into the suspect vehicle and the LPN was given. The car refused to stop, a high speed chase ensued from Missouri into Arkansas, and officers were shot at from the car. The stop was reasonable. United States v. Jones, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 179804 (E.D.Mo. Dec. 8, 2016).*<\/p>\n
The CI here said he could buy 8-10 pounds of meth from defendant. \u201cHere, when the officers approached Jimenez in the parking lot, they reasonably believed that the CS had earlier made an agreement to purchase eight to ten pounds of methamphetamine from him that day. The CS’s identity was known, and he accompanied the officers on the surveillance operation. He could therefore be held accountable if he provided false information, making his information more reliable. See Adams v. Williams, 407 U.S. 143, 146 (U.S. 1972).\u201d When defendant fled, that added to the reasonable suspicion. United States v. Jimenez, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 180263 (D.Nev.
