Officers had a line on the defendant as being involved in a shooting, and they went to a bar, seeing him through the window. They entered, and he saw them and fled. That was probable cause for his arrest. United States v. Watkins, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 128106 (S.D.W.Va. September 9, 2013).*<\/p>\n
Defendant was indicted in 1994 for a mafia murder and disappeared. The FBI found him in Idaho under a different name, and acquired an arrest warrant for him. Defendant was arrested driving, and he had two children whom he refused to disclose where they were, saying only that their mother was in Utah. They didn\u2019t get off the nearest school bus, so the officers went to his house to make sure they weren\u2019t there. They went to the door and knocked but got no answer despite a TV being on. They could see a gun through the window. They acquired a search warrant for his house and based it in part on his statement to others that he was attempting to acquire automatic weapons. The warrant was an independent source. United States v. Ponzo, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 128212 (D. Mass. September 9, 2013).*<\/p>\n
