Summary
In United States v. Martin, 425 F.2d 268 (5th Cir. 1970), the agent's prior experience with the informer and the informer's description of the travel plans, locale in which the subjects planned to purchase narcotics, the automobile, and the appellants was held sufficient to bring the case within Draper.
Summary of this case from United States v. DrewOpinion
No. 28243.
April 8, 1970. Rehearing Denied and Rehearing En Banc May 14, 1970.
George Thurmond, Del Rio, Tex. (Ct. Apptd.), for appellants.
Seagal V. Wheatley, U.S. Attorney, Warren N. Weir, Jeremiah Handy, Asst. U.S. Attys., San Antonio, Tex., for appellee.
Before GEWIN, GODBOLD and CLARK, Circuit Judges.
The sole issue concerns the refusal of the District Court to suppress narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia seized in a warrantless search of the automobile occupied by appellants. The agent's prior experience with the informant, and the information provided by the informer describing the appellants, their travel plans, the locale in which they were expected to purchase narcotics, their automobile (make, color and license number), bring this case within Draper v. United States, 358 U.S. 307, 79 S.Ct. 329, 3 L.Ed.2d 327 (1959).
Affirmed.
