Before GARWOOD, DAVIS and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:

Treating the petition for rehearing en banc as a petition for panel rehearing, the panel, on further consideration, hereby modifies its prior opinion, United States v. Pack, 612 F.3d 341 (5th Cir.2010), in the following respects. The panel now concludes that United States v. Dortch, 199 F.3d 193 (5th Cir.1999), did not hold that the reasonable suspicion requirement of a Terry stop meant that there must be particularized suspicion of a particular, specific crime, as distinguished from a particular and objective basis for suspecting the detained person or persons of some criminal activity. See, e.g., United States v. Arvizu, 534 U.S. 266, 122 S.Ct. 744, 750, 151 L.Ed.2d 740 (2002) (“The Fourth Amendment is satisfied if the officer's action is supported by reasonable suspicion to believe that criminal activity may be afoot ...”); Brown v. Texas, 443 U.S. 47, 99 S.Ct. 2637, 2641, 61 L.Ed.2d 357 (1979) (... officers must “have a reasonable suspicion, based on objective facts, that the individual [detained] is involved in criminal activity”); United States v. Cortez, 449 U.S. 411, 101 S.Ct. 690, 695, 66 L.Ed.2d 621 (1981). Moreover, our en banc decision in United States v. Brigham, 382 F.3d 500 (5th Cir.2004), did not overrule or abrogate Dortch. Dortch held that reasonable suspicion of one particular offense which admittedly was subsequently wholly dispelled, did not constitute reasonable suspicion of a distinctly different offense. The facts here are different from those in Dortch, and the present situation is consistent with that in Brigham. In Brigham, when facts came to light indicating that information furnished by the driver, which the officers had a right to inquire into, was materially false, the officers then had a right to extend their detention to further investigate. Here, since the information furnished by the driver was later, on questioning of the passenger, completely contradicted, we hold...
