is a reasonable time to wait before forcing entry. What is a reasonable time depends on the circumstances of each case. See United States v. Chambers, 382 F.2d 910, 916 (6th Cir.1967). The Sixth Circuit has stated that it will carefully scrutinize cases in which officers make a forced entry seconds after announcing their authority or purpose. See Bates, 84 F.3d at 794; United States v. Nabors, 901 F.2d 1351, 1355 (6th Cir.1990). In Nabors, the Sixth Circuit upheld a forced entry “moments” after knocking because of the existence of exigent circumstances: (1) Nabors was suspected of trafficking in drugs which could easily have been disposed of; (2) Nabors was known to be in possession of firearms; (3) Nabors was known to habitually wear a bullet proof (D.C.Cir.1993) (Ginsburg, J.) (<HOLDING>); United States v. Garcia, 983 F.2d 1160, 1168
