, 260 P.3d 184, 188 (2011); (2) Alfaro's "gang-related tattoos and
visible weapon supported the police officer's reasonable belief that [he]
could be armed and pose a risk to officer safety," see Terry v. Ohio, 392
U.S. 1, 27 (1968); Somee, 124 Nev. at 442, 187 13.3d at 158; see also Cortes,
127 Nev. at , 260 P.3d at 189 (holding that "the presence of a knife in
plain view in a lawfully stopped car contributes to reasonable suspicion
that other weapons may be present, making the person armed and
dangerous even if the knife is moved out of reach"); and (3) the "protective
pat-down to check for additional weapons was reasonable and justified
under the factual circumstances surrounding [Alfaro's] stop," see NRS
171.1232(1). We agree and conclude that the district court did not err by
denying Alfaro's motion to suppress. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
