United States Eighth Circuit

The district court erred in suppressing evidence seized during defendant's warrantless arrest and search of his home where the arrest was supported by probable cause, and defendant's girlfriend voluntarily consented to a guided search of the home that led to probative evidence and the issuance of a valid search warrant.
