PER CURIAM.
Following a conditional guilty plea to possession of false identification
documents, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1028(a)(3), Vincent Maxwell challenges the
district court’s1 denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized during a traffic stop.
Having carefully reviewed the record, including the testimony presented at the
suppression hearing, we agree with the district court that the evidence was admissible.
See United States v. Wicker, 80 F.3d 263, 268 (8th Cir. 1996) (credibility of

witnesses); United States v. Allegree, 175 F.3d 648, 650 (8th Cir.) (if officer’s
suspicions are aroused during routine traffic stop, he may expand scope of questioning
and voluntary consent to search is valid), cert. denied, 120 S. Ct. 399 (1999); Ark.
Code Ann. § 27-16-302 (Michie 1994) (possession of fictitious driver’s license is
misdemeanor); Curd v. City Court of Judsonia, Arkansas, 141 F.3d 839, 842 (8th Cir.)
(police may perform warrantless search incident to arrest on all property in arrestee’s
immediate control), cert. denied, 525 U.S. 888 (1998).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
