Officers arrived at the trailer home of Jaime Garcia to serve a felony arrest warrant for his younger son Yonari. Defendant is the older son of Jaime Garcia. The court held that the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress the evidence seized from under his mattress where law officers had reasonable suspicion to search under the mattress for Yonari and that neither officer spent more time than necessary to conduct the sweep.
