The pоlice hаd аccumulаted reliable infоrmatiоn that Tom, a drug dealer, was operating a large cocaine distribution network, that he and his accomplices often resorted to violence, and that they kept a small arsenal of weapons in Tom’s home. One day, the police received reliable information that a large blue suitcase with leather straps containing a supply of cocaine had been delivered to Tom’s home and that it was to be moved to a distribution point the next morning. The police obtained a valid search warrant to search for and seize the blue suitcase. When the police arrived at Tom’s house, they knocked on the door and called out, “Police. Open up. We have a search warrant.” After a few seconds with no response, the police forced open the door and entered. Hearing noises in the basement, they ran down there and found the dealer with a large blue suitcase with leather straps. They seized the suitcase and put handcuffs on Tom. A search of Tom’s person revealed a switchblade knife and a .45-caliber pistol. The police then fanned out through the house, looking in every room and closet. They found no one else, but one officer found an automatic weapon in a box on a closet shelf in Tom’s bedroom. In addition to charges relating to the cocaine in the suitcase, Tom has been charged with unlawful possession of weapons. Tom moved pretrial to suppress the weapons seized by the police. Should Tom’s motion to suppress the automatic weapon be granted?
