United States v. Johnson, No. 13-15583 (11th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to one count of felon-in-possession of a firearm and subsequently challenged the district court's denial of his motion to suppress a sawed-off shotgun found in the vehicle he was driving. After a law enforcement officer stopped the vehicle, the officer conducted an illegal search which produced the firearm. The court concluded that the firearm is admissible under the inevitable discovery exception to the exclusionary rule; defendant failed to establish plain error regarding the absence of "standard criteria" as to whether to impound the vehicle; and defendant's remaining arguments are meritless. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
