1 Citing case

  1. Williams v. State

    No. 2-07-365-CR (Tex. App. Jan. 29, 2009)

    We hold that all of these facts, testified to by Lieutenant Duke, justify a reasonable belief that a person potentially posing a danger to the officers could have been found in either of the two bedrooms or bedroom closets. See United States v. Lawrence, No. 3:07-CR-127, 2008 WL 5120957, at *5-6 (E.D. Tenn. Dec. 3, 2008) ("The combination of evidence indicating drug trafficking and the potential presence of additional hidden persons in the apartment warranted a protective sweep of other places where an individual could be hiding."); United States v. Salgado, 06 CR 860, 2008 WL 4951216, at *7 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 18, 2008); cf. United States v. Smith, 131 F.3d 1392, 1396-97 (10th Cir. 1997) (holding protective sweep valid when officers fanned out around known drug location to serve arrest warrant on nonowner resident and officer pulled back flap over window and saw drug paraphernalia), cert. denied, 522 U.S. 1141, 523 U.S. 1030, 523 U.S. 1086 (1998). .
