Leila is a police officer. She is out of uniform and knocked on Dan's front door of his house and asked if she could enter to enforce a valid warrant she had. The warrant was a search warrant issued by a judge at the
Lawrence District Court. His name is Mark McCale, a retired police officer for the state police department in Lawrence. The warrant indicated that "the first floor of Dan's house will be searched for a gun used in
connection with a robbery and some jewelry, which was stolen." While looking in Dan's house, Officer Leila smelled what she thought to be gun powder emanating from the second floor. Officer Leila immediately walked
upstairs and found a gun at the tops of the stairs. She went to confiscate the gun and while doing so noticed a note attached to the gun with an address on it. The address was a known address for stolen jewelry to be
pawned. While at Dan's house, Dan told Officer Leila that, "I do not know what you are here for, because I did not rob Grubb's jewelry store." Officer Leila asked Dan to go to the police station and Dan agreed. As they
walked into the police station, Judge McCale yelled, "is that the person who robbed Grubb's jewelry store?"
Dan replied, "I told Officer Leila already, I did not rob Grubb's jewelry store."
