Officers came to defendant\u2019s house to arrest him on a warrant. When the door was open, there was a cloud of smoke that smelled like a working meth lab. One officer left to get a warrant. Another opened doors to start ventilation to clear the smoke, and he removed the working meth lab out of the house. Defendant made spontaneous admissions before the warrant arrived.

Further, assuming arguendo that the mission and purpose of the initial stop had been concluded at the time it was decided that the canine should be deployed, we believe, under these facts, the troopers had reasonable suspicion to prolong the stop for further investigation.\u201d State v.
