United States Sixth Circuit

Defendant's drug conviction is affirmed where: 1) the indictment's statement that Defendant possessed the drugs at issue "on or about" a certain date did not require the government to prove that the crime occurred on that exact date; and 2) suppression of evidence is not a remedy for violation of the knock-and-announce rule.
