State of Louisiana v. Julius Hankton

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana granted the petition for a writ of certiorari, reversed the district court’s suppression rulings and findings of no probable cause on all seven counts, and remanded for further proceedings. The Court held that the vehicle stop was justified by reasonable suspicion under the totality of the circumstances, that the search warrants were valid, and that probable cause existed for both the drug and firearm charges.
