This case presents two issues. First, whether defendant’s fourth amendment rights were violated when he was detained by police officials in order to execute a search warrant for his residence. Second, *338whether the District Court abused its discretion in giving a supplemental Allen1 charge to the jury rather than granting defendant’s motion for a mistrial. For the following reasons, we AFFIRM.
I.
A.
Defendant pled guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm not identified by a serial number in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d), (i), and was convicted of interstate transportation of a firearm by a felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Defendant was sentenced to 52 months incarceration on each count to run concurrently. This appeal followed.
B.
On February 23, 1990, police officers went to defendant’s residence in order to execute a search warrant. Prior to the search, defendant left his residence by car. In order to promote an orderly search, the police officers thought it best to conduct the search with the cooperation of the defendant but did not want to make a forcible entrance of the residence because he was believed to always carry a firearm and a guard dog remained in the residence. Accordingly, the officers decided to stop defendant in his vehicle as he exited the premises, and to request his assistance in entering the house.
Defendant travelled a short distance before the police stopped him. The officers approached on either side of defendant’s vehicle and ordered him to get out of the car. A rapid flurry of events ensued. As the officers approached the vehicle, defendant made a quick motion with his right arm. The officer on the driver side opened defendant’s door and again ordered defendant out of the car. Defendant’s right arm moved faster and the officer began to pull defendant out of the car. The officer on the passenger side believed that defendant was reaching for a gun and, while defendant was being pulled out of the car, opened the car’s glove box. A nine millimeter clip fell out. The officers were aware that defendant was a convicted felon and therefore was prohibited from possessing a weapon or ammunition. A search of the vehicle ensued, and an unregistered firearm was found in the trunk.
II.
Defendant argues that the officers’ seizure of his person and the search and seizure of his car were unreasonable and thus violative of the fourth amendment. According to defendant, the police officers could have served defendant with the search warrant before he entered his car and drove away. By waiting, the officers allegedly manipulated the circumstances surrounding the execution of the search warrant for defendant’s residence in order to create an opportunity to search defendant’s vehicle.
The District Court properly analyzed the actions of the officers as three separate events: the initial stop, the search of the glove compartment, and the subsequent search of the vehicle. Applying Michigan v. Summers, 452 U.S. 692, 101 S.Ct. 2587, 69 L.Ed.2d 840 (1981), the District Court initially concluded that the police officers were justified in their initial stop of defendant in his vehicle.2 In Summers, as in the instant case, the dispute focused on whether police had authority to require an individual to re-enter his house and to remain there while they executed a search warrant of such individual’s dwelling.
The Supreme Court concluded that such a detention amounted to a seizure but did not violate the fourth amendment. The Court determined that the intrusion created by the detention was less than the intru*339sion allowed by the search warrant; that this type of detention would seldom be exploited by the police in order to gain further information; and that the public stigma associated with this detention was less than a “compelled visit to the police station.” Id. at 701-02, 101 S.Ct. at 2594. The Court further noted that the justifications for such detention — preventing flight of the individual, minimizing the risk of harm to the officers, and the orderly completion of the search — were legitimate and reasonable. Id. at 702-03, 101 S.Ct. at 2594. Finally, the Court observed that the existence of the search warrant provided an articulable and individualized suspicion which justified the detention. Balancing these factors, the Court concluded that “a warrant to search for contraband founded on probable cause implicitly carries with it the limited authority to detain the occupants of the premises while a proper search is conducted.” Id. at 705, 101 S.Ct. at 2595 (footnotes omitted).3
Defendant does not dispute the holding in Summers, but attempts to factually distinguish it from the instant case. In Summers, police stopped the individual as he was “descending the front steps.” Id. at 693, 101 S.Ct. at 2589. In contrast here, police stopped defendant after he had driven a short distance from his home. We do not find this distinction significant, however. Summers does not impose upon police a duty based on geographic proximity (i.e., defendant must be detained while still on his premises); rather, the focus is upon police performance, that is, whether the police detained defendant as soon as practicable after departing from his residence. Of course, this performance-based duty will normally, but not necessarily, result in detention of an individual in close proximity to his residence.4
The initial detention of the police was proper in light of Summers. The record does not indicate exactly how far defendant had travelled before being stopped. The record does indicate that the address of defendant’s residence was 6316 Aspen Ridge Boulevard. At the time of his detention, defendant was travelling southbound on Aspen Ridge Boulevard and the police stopped him “almost immediately after exiting his residence.” Id. at 53. Other testimony indicates that defendant was stopped “a very short distance” from his residence, id. at 62; and the court found that defendant was stopped “a short distance” from his residence, id. at 205. We do not find the actions of the police improper in light of the short distance travelled by defendant. Further, the facts and evidence do not suggest that the police attempted to manipulate the circumstances in order to search defendant’s car. Indeed, it was defendant’s acts, not those of the police, that led to the search of the automobile.
Based on defendant’s acts, the police officers conducted two other searches incident to the initial stop of defendant. An officer searched the glove compartment when defendant was observed moving his right arm quickly while being ordered from the car. This search was reasonable under the circumstances. Michigan v. Long, 463 U.S. 1032, 1049, 103 S.Ct. 3469, 3480, 77 L.Ed.2d 1201 (1983) (stating that “search of the passenger compartment of an automobile, limited to those areas in which a weapon may be placed or hidden, is permissible if the police officer possesses a reasonable belief ... that the suspect is dangerous and the suspect may gain immediate control of weapons”). The product of this search — the nine millimeter magazine— gave the police probable cause to search the car. United States v. Ross, 456 U.S. *340798, 825, 102 S.Ct. 2157, 2173, 72 L.Ed.2d 572 (1982).
In conclusion, the initial stop of defendant for the purpose of detention while searching his home was valid. The purpose and scope of the initial stop was broadened because of defendant’s, not the officers’, acts. Hence, we disagree with defendant that the officers attempted to manipulate the circumstances so as to expand the scope of their search warrant. The District Court did not err in its conclusion that the acts of the police officers comported with fourth amendment requirements.
Defendant also argues that the District Court erred when it gave the jury an Allen charge instead of granting defendant’s motion for mistrial. The jurors commenced deliberations on July 3, 1990. On July 5th, after five hours of deliberations, the jury informed the judge that “the jury is deadlocked and this will not change.” Rather than granting defendant’s motion for a mistrial, the District Court gave an Allen charge to the jury. The jury returned a guilty verdict about two hours later.
A district court’s decision to give an Allen charge is reviewable for an abuse of discretion. See, e.g., United States v. Sawyer, 902 F.2d 1217 (6th Cir.1990). We review allegations of error stemming from an Allen charge based on the totality of the circumstances. After a review of the record, we hold that the District Court did not abuse its discretion. See Sawyer, 902 F.2d at 1220-21.
III.
For the foregoing reasons, we AFFIRM the decision of the District Court.
. Allen v. United States, 164 U.S. 492, 17 S.Ct. 154, 41 L.Ed. 528 (1896).
. The District Court also concluded that the investigatory stop and search of defendant and his vehicle was constitutional because these acts were conducted as a proper inventory search pursuant to a vehicle seizure by the Drug Enforcement Administration. We need not address this alternate ground, however, because we have determined that the officers' acts were constitutionally appropriate on other grounds.
. Although not required by Summers, the government offered the following facts which demonstrate the risk to the officers and support their decision to detain defendant: 1) the presence of a Doberman Pinscher in defendant’s residence; 2) the layout of the condominium; and 3) defendant’s criminal history and propensity to carry firearms.
. For example, an individual may park his car in a garage attached to his residence. If such garage can be accessed through an interior entrance and the garage door is electronically operated, an individual may only be accessible to the police after he has exited the garage and has driven off his premises.
