U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-1898
Northern District of Iowa
Criminal case - criminal law. Officers had reasonable grounds to
believe defendant was inside his residence and they legally entered the
home to execute an arrest warrant; once in the home, exigent
circumstances justified an immediate search of the premises for a meth
lab, and evidence seen in plain view was admissible; later reentry into the
building was still justified by exigent circumstances and seizure of
additional evidence was permissible under the plain view exception.
Judge Heaney, dissenting.
