BOOKER T. HUDSON, JR., Petitioner v. MICHIGAN
No. 04-1360 SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES 126 S. Ct. 2159; 165 L. Ed. 2d 56; 2006 U.S. LEXIS 4677; 74 U.S.L.W. 4311; 19 Fla. L. Weekly Fed. S 244 January 9, 2006, Argued June 15, 2006, Decided PRIOR HISTORY: ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MICHIGAN. Detroit police executing a search warrant for narcotics and weapons entered petitioner Hudson's home in violation of the Fourth Amendment's "knock-and-announce" rule. The trial court granted Hudson's motion to suppress the evidence seized, but the Michigan Court of Appeals reversed on interlocutory appeal. Hudson was convicted of drug possession. Affirming, the State Court of Appeals rejected Hudson's renewed Fourth Amendment claim.
The judgment is affirmed. [The] violation of the "knock-and-announce" rule does not require suppression of evidence found in a search.
