United States v. Glover, No. 13-2296 (8th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, possession of heroin with intent to distribute, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. On appeal, defendant challenged the denial of his motion to suppress evidence found in a house. The court concluded that the officers' entry into the home was justified because they possessed multiple arrest warrants and reasonably believed defendant resided at and was present in the house before the officers observed defendant through the tinted window. As such, the court need not address defendant's contention that the evidence was obtained unconstitutionally because one of the officers pressed his face against a tinted window to see inside the home. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.

Judge Bye, concurring in the result. [ March 21, 2014
