United States Sixth Circuit

In a prosecution for drug- and firearm-related offenses, denial of defendant's motions to suppress evidence uncovered during a search of his hotel room, as well as for a mistrial and acquittal, are affirmed over claims that: 1) the search of his hotel room violated his Fourth Amendment rights; 2) several statements made by the government in front of the jury denied him a fair trial; and 3) the evidence did not support the verdict.
