Criminal Law: Traffic Stop-Drug Dog Sniff-Reasonable Suspicion

Where a defendant argued that an officer impermissibly extended a valid traffic stop by detaining him to wait for a canine unit, the totality of the circumstances gave the officer the grounds to extend the stop and order the drug dog to sniff.

Judgment is affirmed.
