Once in the area, the officers saw a single black male wearing black. They pulled up to him and he acted unusually nervous. \u201cAs the district court noted, \u2018[s]topping an individual who matches the description of an armed robber in relative close proximity to the crime scene, within ten minutes of the crime occurring, and patting them down for weapons is well within the bounds of the Fourth Amendment and Terry.\u2019\u201d United States v.
