Campbell v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant was charged with four drug-related felonies. Appellant filed a motion and an amended motion to suppress the evidence police officers obtained against him in a search of Appellant’s apartment. The district court denied the motion, and Appellant entered a conditional guilty plea to felony possession of marijuana. Appellant appealed, challenging the denial of his motion to suppress. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the district court (1) erred in concluding that the initial intrusion into Appellant’s apartment was lawful and justified by the emergency assistance exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement; and (2) correctly found that Appellant’s consent to the police’s later entry into and search of his apartment was voluntarily given. Remanded for a ruling on whether Appellant’s consent was tainted by the initial unlawful search of his apartment.
