Syllabus

After appellant was shot in his own residence, police officers obtained a search warrant for his entire residence the warrant included authorization to search for drugs and currency. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion to suppress evidence obtained from the search of his residence conducted pursuant to a search warrant. Although the judge who issued the warrant did not have a substantial basis to conclude that the affidavit established probable cause to believe that drugs and currency likely would be found in the residence or that evidence of the shooting likely would be found throughout the house, the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule applies. Judgment affirmed. (Hall, J., concurring.)
