Ware v. State

OPINION

VAIDIK, Judge.

Case Summary

In this interlocutory appeal, Laquane Ware contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained as a result of the search of his home. Specifically, Ware argues that the police officers made an illegal entry into his home, which invalidated his subsequent consent to search.
