UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. LONNIE LORENZO HOLLINGSWORTH, JR.
United States Marshal Counsel for Defendant Lonnie Lorenzo Hollingsworth, Jr.
United States Marshal Counsel for Defendant Lonnie Lorenzo Hollingsworth, Jr.
ORDER
JOHN ANTOON II, United States District Judge.
This case is before the Court on Defendant's Motion to Suppress (Doc. 24).
The assigned United States Magistrate Judge has submitted a Report (Doc. 41) recommending that the motion be granted in part and denied in part. Defendant filed an objection to the Report (Doc. 42) and the Government responded to Defendant's objection. (Doc. 49).
The Court has reviewed the record and has considered de novo those portions of the Report to which Defendant has objected. The magistrate judge correctly concluded that the police had probable cause to detain Defendant under Florida's Baker Act. The magistrate judge also correctly concluded that the search of Defendant's backpack was a proper inventory search and Defendant's statement confirming the ammunition found in the bag was "his lucky bullet" was voluntarily made.
Accordingly, the Court agrees with the findings of fact and conclusions of law in the Report and Recommendation and overrules Defendant's objection. (Doc. 42). Therefore, it is ORDERED as follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 41) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.
2. Defendant's Motion to Suppress (Doc. 24) is GRANTED as to the statement confirming ownership of the backpack but is otherwise denied.
DONE and ORDERED.
