Defendants consented to removing the truck from the scene of the stop for a more intensive search by saying \u201cI don\u2019t care\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s okay.\u201d United States v. Sias, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 116841 (D. Neb. August 20, 2012).*<\/p>\n
Officers responded to a shooting call at defendant\u2019s address. They saw the front door off its hinges with a bullet hole in it and blood leading inside. They were told defendant was taken to the hospital. They obtained consent from defendant\u2019s wife to enter [the government did not rely on exigent circumstances]. When the police were following a blood trail through the house they saw some marijuana, cardboard boxes smelling of marijuana, and guns. They retreated and sought a search warrant to search more. The consent was valid. Defendant\u2019s wife claimed it was not voluntary, but admitted that she did not limit consent and that there was blood on the floor in several rooms. United States v. Williams, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 116293 (E.D. Pa. August 17, 2012).*<\/p>\n
