United States v. Ballentine

On May 30, 1991, officers of the Indian Shores Police Department in Pinellas County, Florida were instructed to assist a woman in the removal of her personal belongings from a local apartment. Once inside the locked apartment, the officers encountered the appellant Larry Ballentine, who apparently had been living there with the woman. Ballentine was arrested after the police recovered a loaded .38 caliber revolver which Ballentine had attempted to conceal under a seat cushion.
