This case began when Pontiac police knocked on the client’s door. After he provided his name, officers asked for identification. When he turned to retrieve his ID, the officers entered the home without a warrant.
The client lived with his stepson, who had an outstanding warrant for two counts of assault with intent to murder. While inside the home, police located a firearm, marijuana, and cocaine.
In court, Attorney Carl Jordan argued that the officers had no legal basis to enter the residence and that all evidence discovered inside must be suppressed. The client testified that he never consented to the officers’ entry. The officers testified that they could not remember whether consent was given.
The judge ruled that the evidence found in the home resulted from an unconstitutional search and must be suppressed. Following this ruling, Attorney Jordan moved to dismiss the charges. The judge granted the motion, and all charges were dismissed.
