United States v. George E. Lott and Edward Turner

BOWNES, Circuit Judge.

The United States appeals the district court’s suppression of evidence prior to the trial of defendants, George Lott and Edward Turner. Both defendants were indicted on two counts: (1) possession of firearms by a felon, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1); and (2) interstate transportation of stolen firearms, 18 U.S.C. § 922(i). The district court suppressed evidence, including the weapons, discovered at a roadside search because the search violated the fourth amendment and the teachings of Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 88 S.Ct. 1868, 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968), and its progeny. We affirm.
