The pоlice оbtаined а vаlid arrest warrant fоr Danny, a drug dealer. A reliable informant told the police that Danny was staying at Fred’s house until “the heat was off.” Without having obtained a search warrant, the police went to Fred’s house, knocked on the door, and asked Fred if Danny was there. Fred replied that Danny had been staying at the house for a few days but had left a few hours ago. The police pushed open the door and began searching for Danny. They found Danny hiding in a closet along with two five-pound bricks of marijuana. They arrested both Danny and Fred. Before his trial for possession of marijuana, Fred moved to suppress the marijuana found in the closet.Should the court grant the motion to suppress?
