The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Trejos-Ortiz, 862 F.2d 318 (9th Cir. 1988):
Ortiz cites United States v. Ocheltree, 622 F.2d 992, 994 (9th Cir.1980), to support his contention. However, Ocheltree involved a defendant who was present at an airport, and was given the option of consenting to a search or being further detained. Given this option, the defendant consented to a search.
