U.S. v. Johnson

In prosecution on drug distribution charge, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion to suppress evidence found in defendant’s home, where defendant alleged that govt. lacked probable cause to support issuance of search warrant. While defendant asserted that affidavit did not contain sufficient information about credibility and reliability of two informants, probable cause existed to support issuance of search warrant, where: (1) one informant provided detailed and first-hand description of his weekly purchases of heroin from defendant; (2) informant purchased heroin from defendant within two days of date of affidavit; and (3) second informant corroborated statements of first informant regarding defendant’s drug dealing activities. Fact that first informant admitted to using drugs on night before statement or was first-time informant did not require different result.
