  • holding that an independent arrest warrant served as an intervening event between an unlawful stop and search incident to arrest
  • holding that a valid arrest warrant “entirely unconnected with -the [illegal] stop” was a sufficient intervening circumstance
  • holding that the connection between an officer’s conduct and a subsequent search was “interrupted by [the] intervening circumstance” of the issuance of a valid warrant
  • holding that evidence seized following an unlawful stop was admissible because the discovery of a valid warrant attenuated the illegal stop
