Heading: Vehicle Stop Evidence

Text: 14 Christoferson argues that the district court erred by allowing Officer Chantal Marie Thomas to testify regarding the stop of Christoferson's vehicle on September 21, 1991. We review the trial court's admission of evidence for abuse of discretion. Perez-Tosta, 36 F.3d at 1560. 15 Fed.R.Evid. 404(b) provides that [e]vidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. Nevertheless, as this court previously has explained: 16 Evidence of criminal activity other than the charged offense is not extrinsic under Rule 404(b) if it is (1) an uncharged offense which arose out of the same transaction or series of transactions as the charged offense, (2) necessary to complete the story of the crime, or (3) inextricably intertwined with the evidence regarding the charged offense. 17
