After parole officers obtained an arrest warrant on parole-violation evidence, Scott gave them his house keys; officers waited for his mother (the homeowner) to arrive before searching and found firearms and a bow and arrow. At Scott's revocation hearing, he unsuccessfully objected to admitting this evidence.
