Dissenting opinion by
SARAH B. DUNCAN, Justice
Like the majority, I do not believe that probable cause is established by a general statement that a “known drug trafficker” “constantly maintain[s]” at his residence “quantities of currency and other evidence documents.” However, probable cause for the issuance of a warrant to search Ro-buck’s residence was established by the officers’ statements that they had seized a box addressed to Robuck, the box contained $45,000 that smelled strongly of marijuana, and Robuck had been calling regarding the delivery of the box. I therefore respectfully dissent.
