citation_a.parenthetical: "We have little hesitancy in concluding a reasonable magistrate would conclude the materials found in the trash -- two plastic bags with cocaine residue, two corners torn from plastic bags, Brillo pads, a film canister with white residue -- were sufficient to establish probable cause that cocaine was being possessed and consumed in Alle-bach's residence."
citation_a.sentence: See United States v. Laurrence, 308 F.3d 623, 627 (6th Cir.2002) (holding that the district court acted within its discretion in not allowing a confidential informant to testify in support of the defendant’s suppression motion because, even if the informant’s statements regarding drug activity were excised from the search warrant affidavit, the remaining information obtained through a trash pull, which revealed plastic bags containing wrappers with cocaine residue, supplied sufficient probable cause for the search warrant); Hill, 142 F.3d at 310-11 (affirming decision finding probable cause to issue a search warrant where the affidavit established that the affiant was an experienced narcotics investigator; the defendant had prior drug trafficking convictions; information from a confidential informant indicated that the defendant engaged in drug trafficking on a regular basis and maintained drugs and weapons at the location to be searched; periodic surveillance corroborated the informant’s information; and marijuana and cocaine residue, and packaging materials, were found inside trash bags left on the defendant’s lawn within twenty-four hours before preparation of the affidavit); United States v. Wingate, 191 F.3d 454, 1999 WL 775917, at *3-4 (6th Cir. Sept.24, 1999) (table decision) (holding that traffic around the searched residence, the presence of a known drug dealer, and trash pulls that revealed cut straws, torn plastic baggies, marijuana stems, and one baggie with cocaine residue, constituted substantial basis for magistrate’s probable cause determination); see also United States v. Allebach, 526 F.3d 385, 387 (8th Cir.2008) (“We have little hesitancy in concluding a reasonable magistrate would conclude the materials found in the trash — two plastic bags with cocaine residue, two corners torn from plastic bags, Brillo pads, a film canister with white residue — were sufficient to establish probable cause that cocaine was being possessed and consumed in Alle-bach’s residence.”) (internal footnotes omitted).
