The officers enter pokers home anyway and although they do


Officers armed with the warrant for Gashat know that Gashat is not at home. The officers have probable cause to believe that Gashat is at the home of Paul Poker and is involved in a weekly card-game. Officers respond to Poker's home and knock at the door. Poker answers the door and is told that the officers are looking for Gashat, the subject of a felony warrant, and that the officers would like Poker's consent to enter. Poker refuses consent.

The officers enter Poker's home anyway and although they do not find Gashat, they find several kilos of cocaine on Poker's dining room table.

Question: Did the arrest warrant for Gashat, coupled with probable cause to believe he was in Poker's home, give officers authority to enter Poker's home?
