123896P.pdf 10/20/2014 United States v. Warnell Reid
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3896
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. When an arrestee chooses to
reenter her home for her own convenience following an arrest outside the
home, it is reasonable for officers to accompany her and to monitor her
movements, and the seizure of a weapon seen in plain view was permissible
under the Fourth Amendment; defendant's Missouri conviction for attempted
second degree burglary did not constitute a violent felony under 18 U.S.C.
Sec. 924(e); this ruling concerning Section 924(e) does not address the
separate question of whether defendant qualified as a "career offender"
under Guidelines Sec. 4B1.1, given that the definition of crime of
violence in Guidelines Sec. 4B1.2 and its commentary specifically includes
attempting to commit a crime of violence; remanded for further
proceedings.
