This is what happened---
Two Depuity Sheriffs and a local Police Officer have a Civil Arrest warrant and a Criminal Arrest warrant for "Johny Jones" We know Johny lives at 222 River St Deerfield We also know that he is at the residence.
Now the Criminal warrant lists his address as "streets of Deerfield". The Civil Warrant lists his address as "222 River St Deerfield". Johny is in the home but will not answer the door. Can you enter to make the arrest under Commonwealth V Silva.
This was a real case that happened 12/21/04. We say, yes you can enter to make the arrest on the Civil Warrant as it is an arrest warrant, signed by a judge.
Any input into this. Many times a person with a criminal warrant will also have a civil warrant.
Thanks Joe
