Jones v. State (Original)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of three different offenses related to the possession of various items that could be associated with drug trafficking. In a motion to suppress the results of the search, defendant alleged that the supporting affidavit "fails to show that the act or event upon which probable cause is based occurred within a reasonable time prior to making the affidavit." The court held that the search-warrant affidavit in this case was imprecise as to the timing of the events it described. Nevertheless, the affidavit sufficiently supported the issuance of the search warrant, primarily because it suggested a continuing criminal investigation. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
