How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • noting use of flash-bang device indoors was reasonable when “police planned the search after determining that there were no children or elderly people in the apartment”
  • defendant's twenty-year-old conviction was considered as part of totality of circumstances in establishing reasonable suspicion for no-knock entry
  • no-knock entry justified during execution of search warrant where suspect was involved in armed robbery, had a criminal background, police believed suspect was armed, and suspect would be found at apartment
  • \We see no reason why a no-knock entry that is reasonable at the time it is conducted would suddenly become unreasonable because the officers . . . did not inform the issuing judge of their intention.\
