WILLIAMSON v. STATE

No. 86, Sept. Term, 2006.

921 A.2d 221 (2007)

398 Md. 489

Derek Maurice WILLIAMSON v. STATE of Maryland.

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

April 13, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stacy W. McCormack, Asst. Public Defender (Nancy S. Forster, Public Defender, on brief), for petitioner.

Kathryn Grill Graeff, Asst. Atty. Gen. (Douglas F. Gansler, Atty. Gen., on brief), for respondent.

Argued before BELL, C.J., RAKER, CATHELL, HARRELL, BATTAGLIA, GREENE and ALAN M. WILNER, (Retired, specially assigned), JJ.


BATTAGLIA, J.

Petitioner, Derek Maurice Williamson, seeks review of the denial of a motion to suppress statements he made after he was detained during the execution of a search warrant at a house that Williamson occupied and just had left. We hold that the court properly denied Williamson's motion because the police had the authority to return Williamson to the house and detain him while the search was conducted.
