"...to execute several search warrants."

They had search warrants and I'll assume they had one to search Ronnie Gardiner's apartment at 333 Baker because that's where to took him after the pair went to the “known drug location in the West Roxbury area." (By the way, anyone know the "known drug location" because I don't and I'd rather not find myself there by accident.)
Did they also need a search warrant to search Gardner and if so, did they have one? I'm wondering about the "officer searching Gardiner reportedly saw Gardiner tightening the muscles in his legs and buttocks during the pat down" which seems like the kind of probable cause that doesn't pass the sniff test. Seriously, did his face contort like he was trying to forestall a bowel movement? I admit, it's purely a conjectural inquiry but that's why I want to understand the facts in this case and the requirements under the law. If they had warrants, why did they need additional probable cause for the strip search?
Ewwwww

Probable cause...sphincters...This is one conversation I am NOT engaging in.

@Anonymous -- they had search warrants for the apartment, Gardiner's car and his person. I'll add that to the story. And no, the "known drug location" isn't identified in the police report.

I did know that warrants had to be very specific so I wondered what allowed them to search his person and you've answered that, a warrant.

If that head didn't come out "the lower case" in Columbia Journalism Review, then it came from Jay Leno's collection.
I liked this BSG-esque headline better

"EPA to natural gas companies: Give details on 'fracking' chemicals"

Is the EPA so upset that they have to drop f-bombs? And in the CS Monitor of all places!
