At 1:30 a.m., police received a radio report that a pharmacy alarm had sounded and that a person in a gray hoodie had run south carrying a backpack. Three blocks away, an officer saw Leo, who wore a gray hoodie and carried a backpack, walking quickly away from the pharmacy. The officer pulled his patrol car beside Leo, turned on the spotlight, and said, "Stop right there." Leo stopped.
The officer asked Leo what was in the backpack. Leo said, "School books," but kept one hand in his jacket pocket. The officer saw a hard rectangular bulge in the pocket and patted it down. The officer immediately realized it was not a weapon but squeezed it several times and concluded it was a pill bottle. He removed the bottle and found prescription pills in another person's name.
Thirty minutes later, another officer stopped Leo's girlfriend for a broken taillight. After checking her license and writing a warning, the officer told her to wait ten more minutes for a drug dog because Leo had just been arrested. The dog alerted to the car, and officers found stolen pharmacy labels in the glove compartment.
Leo and his girlfriend move to suppress the pill bottle and the car evidence. Analyze the Fourth Amendment issues.
