The officer has reasonable suspicion based on the man's behavior and the location he was seen leaving from, but probable cause for arrest or search has not been established. The officer can temporarily detain the man and the locked case for the purpose of having a drug canine sniff the case. If the dog alerts to the case, then the officer would have probable cause to search it. If the dog does not alert, then the man and the case must be released.
