Massachusetts Appeals Court April 2, 1999, No. 97-P-1197 (Commonwealth v. Midi)

Kass, J.

On the basis of a complaint by Carla Andrade that her boyfriend, Darius Pierce, had beaten her up, four police officers went to arrest Pierce at the apartment where he lived. While they roved through the apartment without a search warrant, the police found a firearm owned by the defendant Midi, for which he had no license.
