SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Court of Appeals has ruled that too much perfume is probable cause for a search.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports the decision comes in response to a case back in 2007 when a UHP trooper pulled over a woman for traffic violations.

When he approached the car, he found it covered with orange rinds and smelling of air fresheners.

The trooper suspected drug trafficking, and a drug-sniffing dog found about 60 pounds of marijuana in the car.

The woman argued the search was unconstitutional; however, the appeals court agreed the smell offered a reasonable suspicion to search the car.
