United States v. Moore, No. 11-5663 (6th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this Case
After receiving information from a confidential informant concerning cocaine sales, officers obtained a warrant that specified the apartment, the items to be searched for, and a description of a man known as "Little Toe." At the apartment they found drugs, a scale, cash, and two guns. Defendant signed a waiver, admitted to ownership, and, after unsuccessfully moving to suppress, entered a plea of guilty as a felon in possession (18 U.S.C. 922(g)). He was sentenced to six months. The Sixth Circuit affirmed. The warrant was valid; there was enough information to find probable cause. The informant had supplied accurate information in the past, stated that he had seen a drug sale at the apartment; only five days passed between the tip and the search.
