202958P.pdf   12/02/2021  United States  v.  William Meyer
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2958
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - suppression. Federal agents entered defendant's house 
   without a warrant and took two computers, a cell phone, and a hard drive, 
   concerned that defendant would destroy evidence if they waited to get a 
   warrant. Meyer's motion to suppress evidence seized was denied and he 
   appeals. Because there was sufficient evidence to suspect that 
   incriminating evidence would be destroyed, exigent circumstances existed, 
   there was probable cause to enter and search the home, and the officers 
   did not create the exigency, there was no Fourth Amendment violation. Any 
   error in district court's statement at sentencing was harmless.
