Supreme Court of Colorado
The People of the State of Colorado v. Christopher James Strimple, Defendant—appellee
January 17, 2012267 P.3d 1219
Summary
The court reversed the order suppressing evidence obtained during a warrantless follow-up search of a shared home. It held that the victim's consent was valid because the defendant was no longer physically present after a legitimate arrest and removal, and that the search was also reasonable given the need to protect the victim and children from accessible weapons. No separate opinion text was provided.
