He also asked if Villa would
consent to a dog sniff or a search of the vehicle, but Villa refused. Meisel then
retrieved a drug-detection dog from his patrol car and led the dog around Villa’s
vehicle. The dog alerted to the presence of drugs as it passed the driver’s door.

      Meisel began to search the car and found three used syringes in a black leather
bag in the trunk. Villa admitted that the syringes were his and that he used them to
take drugs. Meisel arrested Villa and allowed Ahumada to leave. The state patrol
then towed the car to a regional office, and officers continued the search. Meisel
eventually found over four-and-a-half pounds of heroin in the roof of the trunk.
