P. v. Chester CA1/1
After defendant Eric Chester was stopped for not wearing a seatbelt, a dog sniff revealed there were narcotics in his vehicle. Chester was charged with drug-related offenses, and after moving unsuccessfully to suppress evidence, he pleaded no contest to a felony count of possession of methamphetamine for sale and admitted he had suffered a prior strike. He was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison. On appeal, his sole claim is that the trial court improperly denied his motion to suppress because the police officer who pulled him over deliberately prolonged the stop to allow the K-9 unit to arrive. We affirm.
