The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is set to decide whether a police officer's re-entry to a residence after initially entering under exigent circumstances constitutes one continual search.

In Commonwealth v. Wilmer, the state Superior Court ruled in December 2016 to uphold a Cumberland County judge's denial of defendant Ashley Wilmer's motion to suppress.

Wilmer had sought to block admission into evidence of two pieces of marijuana paraphernalia recovered by a Pennsylvania state trooper when he re-entered Wilmer's sorority house to complete paperwork related to items that were damaged during his initial entry to the home under exigent circumstances.
