United States Eighth Circuit

In a criminal case involving drug- and firearm-related offenses, denial of defendant's motion to suppress evidence obtained in searches of his residence and vehicle is affirmed where a state-issued search warrant for the residence was valid and was supported by probable cause, a protective sweep of the vehicle was lawful, and any error in failing to suppress documents and a photograph seized pursuant to a follow-up search warrant for the vehicle was harmless.
