7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Stephen Onwarkial Leonard
Case No.: 17-1924
Officials: BAUER, FLAUM, and MANION, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Motion to Suppress Denied
Stephen Leonard pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Police discovered the gun after obtaining a warrant to search his home on suspicion that his wife was dealing drugs from the residence. Leonard appeals the denial of his motion to suppress the gun as well as the district court’s decision not to require the government to reveal the identity of a tipster who told police about the drug activity. We affirm.
