CI\u2019s claim he bought drugs from defendant was an admission against penal interest, confirmed by three controlled buys. Reid v. State<\/a>, 321 Ga. App. 653, 742 S.E.2d 166 (2013).<\/p>\n

Officers tailed a domestic violence suspect to defendant\u2019s house with a dog, and they told the defendant they wanted to capture him. Defendant consented to the entry. The entry was strictly limited to finding the suspect, and a plain view was sustained. State v. Dancer<\/a>, 174 Wn. App. 666, 300 P.3d 475 (2013).<\/p>\n

Officers had reasonable suspicion to take defendant into custody as a parole violator. Defendant\u2019s argument is noted that he was a potential crime victim, not a suspect, but it was reasonable to conclude that defendant might arm himself. \u201cHis desire to search Defendant was based on his experience and recognition that parolees who are threatened with violent crimes are more likely to obtain firearms to protect themselves. In light of the agent’s knowing that Defendant’s brother was shot and killed two days prior, and Agent Welsh’s receiving a call indicating that Defendant \u2018would be next,\u2019 it was reasonable, under the circumstances, to conclude that Defendant would likely have a firearm to protect himself.\u201d United States v. Britton, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 62779 (M.D. Pa. May 2, 2013).*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
