Uniontown state police are looking for an Ohio man with an extensive criminal record after he allegedly removed a signed check from a Fayette County home, then cashed it at a local bank. An arrest warrant has been issued for James Louis Kempf, 42, of 3437 Franklin St., Bellaire.
Evidence seized in a search by police who allegedly invented the grounds for a traffic stop should be suppressed, the California Court of Appeal has ruled. Two police officers assigned to the gang and narcotics unit stopped a car driven by the defendant because of an allegedly nonfunctioning brake light. They ran a warrant check and found an outstanding no-bail warrant for the defendant's arrest. The officers then searched the car and found a bag of methamphetamine. The defendant was charged with possession and transportation of a controlled substance.
Even though police acted on an invalid warrant, the evidence gathered from a search is admissible if the police reasonably believed the warrant was valid and the error was a clerical mistake, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled. The defendant drove to the sheriff's department to retrieve something from his impounded truck. An investigator asked the county's warrant clerk to check for outstanding warrants. When she found none, he asked her to check with the neighboring county which responded with an outstanding arrest warrant.

Police were justified in searching a man's home on the basis of a misdemeanor bench warrant that was issued because the man failed to appear in court, the 9th Circuit has ruled. A police officer approached a parked car in which a man, whom the officer knew from a prior arrest, was seated. As the office ran a warrant check, the man ran from the car to his home. The officer pursued the man to his home and received radio confirmation that there was an outstanding misdemeanor warrant for his arrest.
A Fayette County man claims his civil rights were violated when he was handcuffed and forced to wait outside in sub-zero temperatures while a judge was summoned to hear his case. In a federal civil lawsuit, Donald M. Verney of Uniontown contends he was publicly humiliated when two constables took him into custody on an arrest warrant issued for a bad check.

A man who was approached by police and asked to identify himself was not seized for purposes of the Fourth Amendment, the 1st Circuit has ruled. The police spotted the defendant sitting on a wall. They drove up to him, asked him what he was doing there and for his identification. A data check revealed that the defendant had an outstanding arrest warrant. When the police attempted to arrest the defendant, he resisted. A subsequent search turned up marijuana and a loaded firearm.
