United States v. Wolff, No. 15-3260 (8th Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseDefendant conditionally pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition (count one) and possession of an illegal firearm (count two) after law enforcement officers seized three firearms and 374 rounds of ammunition from a shed owned by his father. On appeal, defendant argued that the Fourth Amendment required the officers to obtain a warrant before entering and searching the shed where the evidence was seized. The court concluded that, having heard uncontradicted testimony from three credible officers that defendant both authorized and facilitated the search of the shed, the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
