7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Shon L. Gibson
Case No.: 19-1402
Officials: BAUER, ROVNER, and SYKES, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Unlawful-stop Claim – Suppression of Evidence
On December 14, 2016, Shon L. Gibson (“Gibson”), was arrested and charged with possessing with intent to distribute methamphetamine and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Gibson pleaded guilty but reserved his right to appeal the order denying his motion to suppress evidence seized from his home pursuant to a search warrant.
On appeal, Gibson argues the indictment should be dismissed or the evidence suppressed because the evidence seized was the direct result of an illegal stop, search, and arrest. Since we find the evidence was not obtained as a result of violations of the Fourth Amendment, we affirm.
