State of Tennessee v. Bryan John Drost

The Appellant, Bryan John Drost, was convicted by a Tipton County jury of possession of .5 grams or more of cocaine with the intent to deliver, and he was subsequently sentenced to ten years and six months confinement in the Department of Correction. On appeal, he challenges the trial court’s
denial of his motion to suppress, arguing that the affidavit given in support of the warrant was insufficient to establish probable cause because: (1) it failed to establish that the informant was, as alleged, a citizen informant; and (2) the affidavit failed to demonstrate the informant's reliability and credibility as required by Jacumin. After review of the record, we find no error and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
