Heading: thomas' trial

Text: Thomas' bench trial was conducted on stipulated evidence contained in the police report regarding Thomas' arrest, including Thomas' statement at police headquarters. However, concerning the police report, Thomas renewed his objection based on the grounds previously expressed in his suppression motion, that is, an objection to [a]ny and all statements or evidence contained in [the police report] that were obtained subsequent to the stop of [Thomas'] vehicle ... on the grounds that it was obtained as a result of an illegal search, and without a valid search warrant in violation of [Thomas'] fourth amendment rights and his rights under [the] Nebraska constitution. Additionally, Thomas objected to items seized at the 2515 Himebaugh residence as beyond the scope of the search warrant. Further, Thomas objected to all items seized from either the Defendant's vehicle or the premises at 2515 Himebaugh on the grounds of relevancy. Through stipulation, the State introduced a recitation of Sergeant Langan's experience and training with the Omaha Police Department, namely, Langan had over 12 years' experience and has attended and conducted several seminars regarding drug investigations. Further, based on his experience and training, Langan, if called as a witness, would testify that 9 grams of crack cocaine is generally too large an amount for personal use, that such quantity of crack cocaine has an estimated street value of $1,800 to $2,250 and can be divided into 90 individual doses for sale or personal use, and that persons trafficking in crack cocaine will often carry large amounts of cash on their person.
