Man tosses items under car after traffic stop

[November 13, 2008]  MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A routine traffic stop led to the arrest of two Memphis men on burglary charges after the passenger began surreptitiously tossing things under their car. According to a police report, the officer making the stop was talking to the driver when he noticed that the passenger had opened his door a bit and was acting a little odd.

Looking under the car, the officer spotted a gold bracelet and several rings. That led to a search of the car which turned up an Ipod, an Ipod docking station and other items that were reported taken in a residential burglary earlier in the day.

The car's driver and his passenger were arrested on burglary and theft charges.
