United States Sixth Circuit

Where subject trailer matched the description and location given in search warrant perfectly, even if street name provided was wrong, the description was sufficiently particular that there was virtually no chance the wrong premises would be searched; because rifle inside trailer posed a legitimate threat to officers' safety, and there was a reasonable likelihood of destruction of evidence, exigent circumstances made officers' entrance into trailer reasonable, and motion to suppress evidence was properly denied.
