State v. Riggs

In State v. Riggs, 328 N.C. 213, 400 S.E.2d 429 (1991), the Supreme Court of North Carolina held that factual allegations that drug deals took place on defendant's driveway established probable cause to search defendant's house. See id. at 220-21, 400 S.E.2d at 434. The Court found that the CI provided particular facts regarding the procedure used to transact the drug deals, specifically that the CI waited on the driveway while someone would go into the house and return with the drugs, which established a reasonable inference between the driveway and drugs in the residence. See id. at 221, 400 S.E.2d at 434.
