Description
The prosecution of this case was the result of a "controlled buy" of heroin staged by police officers who furnished funds to an informant kept undersurveillance. When the informant emerged from the premises he related having purchased heroin from a person called "Otis" and having been promptly forced by him to "shoot up" his heroin purchase before leaving. He was observed to have constricted pupils and blood oozing from a needle mark in his arm. He had no money. Thereafter, one of the officers executed an affidavit for a search warrant setting forth the facts related by the informant, verifying the previous reliability of the informant (an earlier purchase of heroin elsewhere the same evening and previous tips on locations where heroin was sold), and setting forth his considerable experiences as a narcotics investigator including a two-month surveillance of said premises. Based thereon a warrant was issued and the resultant search found defendant, a small amount of money, 14 balloons (the only one of which was chemically tested contained heroin), paraphernalia consisting of cotton, tie-offs, syringes, spoons and a number of empty balloons discarded idn a beer can.
