UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. ABDUS SALAAM LUQMAN, a/k/a THOMAS A. MACK, Defendant-Appellant. |
|
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Ohio at Akron.
No. 05-00571—John R. Adams, District Judge.
Argued: January 29, 2008
Decided and Filed: April 8, 2008
Before: SILER, CLAY, and COOK, Circuit Judges.
SILER, Circuit Judge. Two police officers stopped Defendant Abdus Salaam Luqman’s pickup truck when the officers suspected Luqman of soliciting prostitution. After questioning Luqman, the officers verified Luqman’s driver’s license, which was suspended. The officers then arrested Luqman for driving with a suspended license and conducted a routine, pre-tow inventory of Luqman’s truck, when the officers found a concealed handgun. Luqman was later indicted for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The district court denied Luqman’s motion to suppress the firearm. Luqman now appeals his subsequent conviction, arguing that the police officers did not have reasonable suspicion to stop his truck.
For the following reasons, we AFFIRM.
