This case involves the convictions of two separate defendants. In the first case, after establishing probable cause to believe that Payton (defendant) had committed murder, officers went to Payton’s apartment to arrest him without a warrant. When no one responded to their knocking, the officers used crowbars to enter the apartment. No one was there, but police saw a shell casing which was seized and later entered into evidence against Payton at trial.
In the second case, a detective and three officers went to Riddick’s home to arrest him for two armed robberies after he was identified by the victims and they learned of his address. They did not obtain an arrest warrant. Riddick’s son opened the door, and the officers could see Riddick sitting in bed covered by a sheet. The officers arrested Riddick and searched drawers for weapons, but instead found narcotics and paraphernalia. Riddick was indicted on narcotics charges.
