Heading: Cash Bond Statement

Text: 12 Kyle also challenges the statement in the affidavit that Billy Senior was arrested and then released after posting a $100,000 cash bond. Kyle contends this statement is false because Billy Senior was released on a $150,000 appearance bond secured by property, not a $100,000 cash bond. 13 Even if this information in the affidavit is false, there is no showing Mason knew it was false. The affidavit makes clear that the information about the bond was told to Mason by a DEA agent. Kyle's challenge fails because it does not attack the veracity of the affiant (Mason) as required by Franks; it attacks the veracity of the DEA informant. See Franks, 438 U.S. at 171; United States v. Perdomo, 800 F.2d 916, 921 (9th Cir.1986).
