Fasano Case Summary
In Fasano’s case, Officer Byrd and Officer Troy both work at the local police department and were investigating the hackings on campus. On the day in question, the officers arrested Fasano while wearing civilian attire. The officers still identified themselves as officers working on the case, displayed their police identification, and explained the search warrant they had for the residence. As a result of following up with a credible tip into the investigation and having a warrant for the premises already, the probable cause needed from Henes is established. Therefore, the officers were working in their official capacity when Fasano stalled them during their investigation.
