Adam Eugene Lane, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court held that officers lawfully entered the parolee’s hotel room under his advance consent to warrantless searches because reasonable grounds supported the search. It further held that the knock-and-announce requirement applied despite Lane’s parole status, but suppression was not an available remedy for the violation, and Lane’s affidavit was admissible because it was not an offer to plead guilty and his other evidentiary arguments were unpreserved. Justice Womack, concurring, agreed with the judgment but would have held that parole status eliminated the knock-and-announce requirement.
