Text: This statement was carried to the magistrate and attached to the affidavit for the search warrant. The information in the statement does not mention the apartment, nor does it indicate that drugs were inside the apartment. Standing alone, these underlying facts are insufficient to support a search warrant for the apartment. However, at the suppression hearing, Officers Hoadley and Emerson testified that verbal statements were given to the magistrate about their surveillance of Apartment C-9 and the arrest of Griffin after he left the apartment. Davis had informed Hoadley of what he had observed at the apartment. When we consider the information before the magistrate in the totality of the circumstances, the magistrate did have sufficient information to find probable cause to authorize the search of the apartment. This assignment of error is without merit.
