Lloyd v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Lloyd's motion to suppress and his convictions and sentence for possessing a firearm and ammunition as a prohibited person. It held that the probation officer had grounds to arrest Lloyd based on observed marijuana possession and suspected impaired driving, substantially complied with the applicable DOC procedure, and lawfully searched him incident to arrest. The officer then had reasonable suspicion and supervisory authorization to conduct an administrative search of Lloyd's residence, where the firearm and ammunition were found.
