Conviction for drug crimes and money laundering is affirmed where: 1) officers had probable cause to stop the vehicle in which defendant was a passenger based on the driver’s speeding violation; 2) the district court did not err in denying defendant’s motion to suppress physical evidence as the officer had reasonable suspicion to investigate defendant and to frisk him; and 3) defendant’s statements at the police station were voluntary and therefore admissible under the Fifth Amendment and Miranda.
