STATE of Arkansas, Appellant, v. Phillip Ray NICHOLS, Trudy Lynn Nichols, and Dale Christopher Scamardo, Appellees.

Supreme Court of Arkansas.

October 20, 2005.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ray Hodnett, Van Buren, for appellant.

Mike Beebe, Att'y Gen., by: Clayton K. Hodges, Ass't Att'y Gen., for appellee.


TOM GLAZE, Justice.

The State of Arkansas brings this interlocutory appeal from the trial court's order granting the motion to suppress filed by the three appellees in this case, Phillip Nichols, Trudy Nichols, and Dale Scamardo. At issue is whether exigent circumstances compelled a warrantless entry into the home of the appellees, and whether any such exigent circumstances were created by the investigating officer.
