No. 4D03-4856.

898 So.2d 1013 (2005)

Hilaire POLIAR, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

March 9, 2005.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Louis G. Carres, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Jeanine M. Germanowicz, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


GROSS, J.

Hilaire Poliar appeals the denial of his dispositive motion to suppress, after which he entered a guilty plea to drug trafficking. Following a lawful traffic stop, a dog alerted to drugs in the back seat of Poliar's car. A further search revealed three kilograms of cocaine. We affirm, finding that reasonable suspicion supported Poliar's twenty-minute detention until the dog search uncovered the drugs.
