WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Adrian J. Jackson

Case No.: 2018AP72-CR

Officials: Brash, P.J., Kessler and Brennan, JJ.

Focus: Motion to Suppress – Warrantless Search

Adrian J. Jackson appeals a judgment entered upon his guilty plea to possession of more than forty grams of cocaine with intent to deliver, as a party to a crime. He claims that the circuit court should have suppressed the evidence against him. He argues that the police unlawfully relied on a warrant for his arrest as authority to enter a third party’s home, but that the police could not lawfully enter the home without a search warrant. Because we conclude that the warrant for Jackson’s arrest permitted police to enter the third party’s home to arrest Jackson, we affirm.
