United States v. Hood, No. 13-6182 (10th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseA grand jury issued an indictment charging defendant-appellant Michael Hood with two counts of being a felon in possession: count one, possession of a firearm related to a string of burglaries at an Oklahoma City apartment complex; count two, possession of a component part of ammunition. Hood filed an unsuccessful pretrial motion to suppress the firearm seized from his jacket, and an unsuccessful motion to exclude any testimony or evidence about the burglary investigation leading to his arrest. A jury convicted Hood on both counts. On appeal, Hood primarily argued that the officers violated his Fourth Amendment rights. In addition, he challenged his sentence, arguing that he did not qualify for sentencing under the Armed Career Criminal Act. Finding no reversible error, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed.
