Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit July 28, 2003, 01-3520 (United States v. Quincy Wimbush)

FLAUM, Chief Judge.

In May 2000 a police officer in Rockford, Illinois, pulled over the sport utility vehicle driven by convicted felon Quincy Wimbush, suspecting that Wimbush may have been involved in a shooting. While questioning Wimbush, the officer smelled marijuana and noticed an open container of alcohol in the console. A search of the vehicle produced a weapon.
