01-2891 U.S. v. Evans
By: dmc-admin//February 25, 2002//
Listen to this article“[T]he parcel in this case was from California, which Sadowitz recognized as a known source area for illegal drugs. Moreover, the label on the parcel was handwritten and as Sadowitz explained, handwritten labels are unusual on Express mail parcels. Here, we find that Sadowitz assessed the circumstances in light of his experience. While a handwritten label and a California return address may appear innocent enough, Sadowitz knew from experience that these characteristics were consistent with parcels which contain contraband. Furthermore, Sadowitz articulated that he had knowledge that this particular address had on previous occasions received parcels with fictitious return addresses.
We find that these factors considered in light of Sadowitz’s 11 years experience as a postal inspector and as articulated by Sadowitz were sufficient to arouse reasonable suspicion.”
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Hamilton, J., Kanne, J.
