Court of Appeals of Washington July 6, 1992, 27493-7-I (State v. Garcia-Hernandez)

Agid, J.

Ignacio Garcia-Hemandez appeals his conviction on stipulated facts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, in violation of RCW 69.50-.401(a). He challenges the trial court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized pursuant to a search of his apartment, on the basis that the police violated the "knock and announce" rule, codified in RCW 10.31.040.
