Description
1 Juiquin Anthony Pinkard appeals from an amended judgment of conviction for possessing cocaine with intent to deliver and felony bail-jumping, and from a post-conviction order denying his motion to reconsider the order denying his suppression motion. The issue is whether the warrantless entry into Pinkards home was objectively reasonable pursuant to the community caretaker exception to the Fourth Amendment to justify the subsequent seizure of evidence that was in plain view. We conclude that the officers stated basis for entering Pinkards home, predicated on an anonymous tip of concern about two individuals evidently sleeping in an open house surrounded by cocaine, cash and digital scales, satisfies the community caretaker exception despite the officers subjective law enforcement concerns. Therefore, we affirm.
