An off-duty officer witnessed a robbery at a 7-Eleven at 4:30 am and followed the masked man out on the street where the mask was removed, and he got a look at the robber\u2019s face. He followed to a duplex with a common door where the man went in. He couldn\u2019t see which unit. He called 911 and a uniform officer came. The uniform officer went to one door with the off-duty behind him and knocked. When the door opened, the off-duty ID\u2019d the man as the robber. The entry for arrest was reasonable under Dorman<\/a>. United States v. Anderson<\/a>, 2016 U.S. App. LEXIS 4864 (3d Cir. March 17, 2016):
\n<\/p>\n

The District Court accurately recounted the evidence supporting its findings that each of the Dorman factors was satisfied: Officer Lister had witnessed a violent crime, the armed robbery of a convenience store. The perpetrator retained the weapon after leaving the store, and was followed to the residence on Bonsall Street. The police arrived at the residence just minutes after the suspect entered it. Office Lister was concerned that the suspect would get away if not apprehended immediately. Officer Mayhew acted reasonably in knocking on the door, and the door opened without use of force. When the door opened, Officer Mayhew was confronted by a man whom Officer Lister identified as the suspect. The District Court’s findings of fact are supported by the record, and its legal conclusion that the exigencies of the circumstances warranted the entry into the home and the arrest of Anderson is not erroneous. Accordingly, the motion to suppress was properly denied.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
