We've talked about this from time to time, that one may be subject to a search if there are conditions nearby that lead a LEO to reasonably suspect you may be involved in a crime.
This poor guy appears to have been quite unlucky in what seems to be a classic example of how this procedure can trump reasonable cause.
From what I've read here before, it would appear this search will hold up in court... any of our legal folks want to weigh in?

A man wanted in King George was arrested in Stafford Saturday after police mistakenly thought that he was involved in a robbery.
[...] deputies went to the Sheetz station in Washington Square on State Route 3 about 2:50 p.m. in response to a 911 call. Police thought the caller reported a robbery, but the caller later stated that $25 was missing when a man who’d been in his vehicle got out and walked away.
While other deputies were at the Sheetz, 1st Sgt. Robbie Grella found the suspect walking on Route 3 toward Fredericksburg. When Grella patted the suspect down while checking for weapons, he found a piece of paper with suspected heroin in it.
