7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Chad Hansmeier

Case No.: 16-3070

Officials: BAUER, FLAUM, and KANNE, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Motion to Suppress Evidence Denied

Police officers searched Chad Hansmeier’s home based on a search warrant and found various drug-dealing paraphernalia. He was arrested and charged. After the district court denied Hansmeier’s motions to suppress the evidence of the search, he pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana, while reserving the right to appeal the court’s denial of his motions to suppress.

On appeal, Hansmeier argues that the evidence must be suppressed because the affidavit filed in support of the search warrant did not establish probable cause and contained material falsehoods and omissions. We disagree and affirm.
