State of Minnesota v. Matthew Starnes

Syllabus

In this direct appeal from the judgment of conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition and fleeing a peace officer by means other than a motor vehicle, appellant argues that the district court erred by (1) determining that neither appellant nor his vehicle were improperly seized, (2) determining that law enforcement had probable cause to search his vehicle, (3) determining that the evidence at trial was sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he possessed a firearm, and (4) directing a verdict on one element of the crime of fleeing a peace officer by means other than a motor vehicle. We affirm.
