Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit December 16, 2004, 03-2513 (United States v. Philip D. Jones)

WOOD, Circuit Judge.

Like many people who wind up as defendants in criminal cases, Philip D. Jones’s problems began when the police stopped his car for a traffic violation. He was arrested after police discovered that he or his passenger had tossed two bags from his car that turned out to contain a substantial amount of cocaine.
