E.D.Pa.: Four months not too stale for SW when $71k is still missing

There was probable cause and nexus for a search involving $71k in unaccounted for money, even though the theft was four months earlier. United States v. Little, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 100795 (E.D. Pa. July 23, 2014).

Officers entered defendant’s apartment at 5 am when he didn’t answer the door about an alleged firearm transfer that had happened shortly before. He was asleep in bed and unresponsive until handcuffed. Meth found under him should have been suppressed because he shouldn’t have been arrested without a warrant in the first place. State v. Easton, 2014 Ore. App. LEXIS 994 (July 16, 2014) (decided under state constitution).*

The odor of marijuana coming from a person was enough to justify a detention and further search. State v. Smith, 2014 SD 50, 2014 S.D. LEXIS 65 (July 16, 2014).*

There was probable cause for the search warrant and the search of a dresser was reasonable. United States v. Johnson, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 100835 (E.D. Mich. July 24, 2014).*
