Aquino, 836 F.2d 1268, 1271 (1988), Santana is the “only case in which the Supreme Court has held the exigent circumstances exception sufficient to justify warrantless entry into a suspect’s home.” Though McKessor was not fleeing from the police when he reentered his motel room, the officers who arrested him knew that he was dangerous and armed, and that an accomplice might be in the room.
