OPINION
_________________________
CHAD A. READLER, Circuit Judge. Van Williams was pulled over for a traffic
violation. A search of the car he was driving turned up cocaine and methamphetamine.
Williams and his passenger, Jamar Bloom, unsuccessfully sought to suppress the drugs and other
evidence on the theories that the officers’ traffic stop was unconstitutionally overlong and that
one of the resulting arrests was unsupported by probable cause. Each then pleaded guilty to a
federal drug crime, preserving the suppression issues for appeal. Seeing no error in the district
court proceedings, we affirm. |
