No. WD 55268.

981 S.W.2d 657 (1998)

STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. George RICKETTS, Appellant.

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

December 15, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bruce W. Simon, Kansas City, MO for appellant.

John M. Morris, Asst. Attorney General, Jefferson City, MO for respondent.

Before RIEDERER, P.J., LOWENSTEIN and LAURA DENVIR STITH, JJ.


RIEDERER, Judge.

George Ricketts appeals from his conviction, in a bench-tried case, for possession of a controlled substance. Appellant claims that the trial court erred in allowing several exhibits to be admitted into evidence, which were allegedly the product of an unlawfully executed search and seizure. Because we find that under the circumstances of this case, the forced entry was unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment, we reverse.
