Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

my brother in law was arrested for having a large amount of weed. he was in a car and was pulled over. the dog was not alerted when ran around the car. the police said he had a warrant in ohio for a theft charge. they said that gave them probable cause to search his bags. that is when they found it. It turns out that the warrant was a bogus warrant and should not have been. Can he get out of this for illegal search and seizure?
