• merely confirming that the accused lives where the informant said he did is not sufficient corroboration of information regarding illegal activity
• informant’s claim that “it observed cocaine at the . . . location within the past 72 hours” was not sufficient to establish probable cause
• confirmation that the accused lived where the untested informant said he did was not sufficient corroboration of illegal activity
• no probable cause where there 6 was no indication that officer either heard or was able to view drug transaction of untested informant
• “[m]erely confirming that the accused lives where the informant said he did” was inadequate
• No probable cause existed to issue warrant because agent testified that he did not consider informant to be reliable and affiant’s statement that the informant had “made a purchase of cocaine at the residence within the past 72 hours for Affiant” was insufficient corroboration.
