Heading: Subsequent Search of the Impala

Text: Four days after the traffic stop, Trooper Mlynar went to the impound lot and searched the Impala again because the first search had been rushed and he did not want to risk anything of value not being accounted for. During this second inventory search, he found two additional handguns, three plastic bags containing methamphetamine, and a cell phone behind the back rest of the back seat. After he found these items, he terminated the search and applied for a search warrant. Two days after the impound lot search, pursuant to a warrant issued by a state court, he searched the Impala a third time. He found more ammunition, 459 grams of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, and a stun gun. The Impala was later released to its registered owner.
