OH11: Def was reasonably believed to be a resident in motel room, not a visitor, so arrest warrant permitted entry

Officers had reason to believe that defendant was a resident in the motel room, not a visitor, so an arrest warrant was enough for officers to enter. State v. Hughes, 2018-Ohio-5069. 2018 Ohio App. LEXIS 5384 (11th Dist. Dec. 17, 2018).

Officers clearly had probable cause when they sought consent, and the “threat” to get a search warrant was real and factual, so consent was not coerced. State v. Sieng, 2018-Ohio-5103, 2018 Ohio App. LEXIS 5416 (10th Dist. Dec. 18, 2018).
