Conviction for drug crimes is affirmed where the district court properly denied defendant’s motion to suppress as the use of dog sniff that led to discovery of marijuana stored in defendant’s automobile was not the result of an unconstitutionally prolonged traffic stop, and since there was reasonable suspicion to prolong the stop for additional questioning after the basis for the initial stop had been resolved, the use of dog sniff did not implicate Fourth Amendment and constituted a de minimis extension of the stop.
