Syllabus

Fourth Amendment; warrantless entry; consent; search warrant; fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine; exclusionary rule. Judgment affirmed. The denial of the suppression motion was not in error. Appellant consented to officers' initial entry into his home to retrieve clothing for appellant to wear. The evidence was in plain view, and that observation can be used as the basis for a subsequent search warrant.
