Officers learned that Defendant would be at [address omitted] North East (“the Address”) in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Officers arrived at the Address and located Defendant standing near a vehicle which had its trunk open.

Defendant then exited the Address with bags and loaded them into the trunk of the vehicle. Officers subsequently approached Defendant and arrested him. Officers found that Defendant had a second warrant for his arrest out of Anoka County, Minnesota. Officers then conducted a K9 sniff of the vehicle. The K9’s behavior changed when it sniffed the vehicle. The change of behavior indicated the presence of controlled substances inside of the vehicle.
