Syllabus

Motion to suppress search warrant affidavit confidential informant identity staleness. Court did not err by finding that affidavit filed in support of an application for a search warrant gave issuing magistrate probable cause to believe that a search of the premises would yield contraband or evidence of crime. In addition, information supplied by informant was not stale when the trash pulls of the premises uncovered potential evidence of drug trafficking consistent with informant's tip. Court did not err by refusing to order the disclosure of police informant because defendant failed to carry his burden of establishing why disclosure would be necessary.
