United States v. Gregorio Nunez-Martinez
443 F.2d 403; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 9912
(Federal Reporter, Second Series)
United States v. Gregorio Nunez-Martinez
Opinion
Appellant and another rode in a ear from Mexico into the United States, at high speed, crossing the border at a point where there was no port of entry. They were seen by a border patrol, chased and ultimately caught several miles inside the border. A search revealed marijuana and amphetamine and seconal capsules in large quantities. On appeal, appellant attacks the search as not based on probable cause. This was a border search, and probable cause was not necessary. Witt v. United States, 9 Cir., 1961, 287 F.2d 389, 391.
Affirmed.
The mandate shall issue forthwith.
