Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, David P. Odekirk, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Badding, J., and Doyle, S.J. Opinion by Doyle, S.J. (8 pages)
Patrick Sallis appeals the denial of his motion to suppress evidence supporting his conviction for possession of a firearm as a felon and habitual offender. OPINION HOLDS: The information in the application for the search warrant was timely and provided a sufficient nexus between criminal activity and the places to be searched. When viewed together, the circumstances before the district court that issued the warrant provide a sufficient basis for finding the informant’s information was credible. Because probable cause supported the search warrant, we affirm.
