775 So. 2d 1007 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2001)

Opinion

No. 3D00-971.

Opinion filed January 17, 2001.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Monroe County, Mark Jones, Judge. Lower Tribunal No. 00-226.

Affirmed.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Shaundra L. Kellam, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Meredith L. Balo, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before Green, Fletcher, and Ramirez, JJ.


Based upon evidence contained in the affidavit of an anonymous tip which was corroborated by complaints from "concerned residents" about drug dealing at the appellant's residence, and a one time trash pull which led to discovery of a considerable amount of drug paraphernalia and cocaine residue, we conclude that there was probable cause to support the issuance of warrant for a search of defendant's home. See State v. Mayes, 666 So.2d 1965 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995).
