United States v. Sanchez, No. 15-1107 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseDefendant entered a conditional guilty plea to being a felon in possession of a firearm, reserving his right to appeal the denial of his motion to suppress. Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial court erred in failing to suppress (1) evidence obtained after a stop and frisk of Defendant; and (2) Defendant’s statement that he was “drug dealer” in answer to the booking officer’s question about his employment. The First Circuit affirmed the trial judge’s refusal to suppress the incriminating evidence and comment, holding (1) there was no constitutional violation in the stop and frisk of Defendant; and (2) the booking exception to Miranda applied to the employment question asked of Defendant.
