context: The officer in this case asked one question relating to the name "Steve Snobl" on the rental agreement and was told by Mr. Williams that the individual was his uncle who had rented the car in Phoenix. The remaining questions, as well as the subsequent detention of Mr. Williams, focused on whether Mr. Williams was carrying drugs in his car. Thus, although the discrepancy provided the officer with justification to detain Mr. Williams for the purpose of determining whether he was in lawful possession of the car, detention for the purpose of the canine drug sniff was justified only if the officer had reasonable suspicion that Mr. Williams was transporting drugs.
