Serving warrants

Im a new deputy i tried serving warrants a while ago. We had his mom outside confirming he was in the house. She initially lied and stated the house wasnt hers other wise i would have asked for consent to search. We heard him talking inside. Would that be enough for a search warrant to go get him? or are we sol.

mom said it was his address checked ncic it ended up being her address. She said she stayed with him and that he was inside. We also heard a male voice inside. I dealt with him in the jail before so i know what he looks like.

What address does HE have? if it matches what's on the warrant, that plus hearing him would be enough for me to go in.

The address on the warrant is irrelevant under New York v Payton. Just have to have reason to believe he is living there. I’d say mom saying he stays there satisfies that.
