Santiago Vasquez, Jr. v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Vasquez’s convictions and vacated the court of appeals’ opinion. It held that the deficient cell-phone warrant was supported by objectively reasonable good-faith reliance because the issuing judge had received additional information establishing a nexus between the phone and the alleged offenses, and it rejected the overbreadth challenge. Although the circuit court abused its discretion by admitting detailed evidence concerning unrelated orders of protection, the court held that the error was harmless in light of the substantial corroborating evidence of guilt.
