MOTION TO SUPPRESS — CRIM.R. 12(F) — FINDINGS OF FACT —WARRANTLESS SEARCH — POSTRELEASE CONTROL — REASONABLE GROUNDS: The trial court erred by granting defendant's motion to suppress drugs and a gun found in a bag carried by defendant on the basis of the staleness of a tip where, even after five months, there remained a reasonable likelihood that the parole officer would find a gun in the bag defendant brought to a meeting because the tip was made by a reliable informant, defendant had not carried a bag during the parole officer's previous encounters with defendant, and the bag defendant was carrying during a meeting with the parole officer met the description given in the tip five months prior.
