Description
In 1987, Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Marie Pikiell conducted an investigation of defendant. On the basis of the information obtained from her investigation, Pikiell obtained a search warrant for defendant's residence from a federal magistrate. The search warrant commanded that the search be conducted on or before June 15, 1987. A search was executed by several Dea agents, with a courtesy representative of the Oakland County Sheriff's Department, at approximately 3:00 P.M. on June 15, 1987. As a result of the search, defendant was arrested and prosecution was started in federal court. That prosecution was voluntarily dismissed by the federal district attorney, and the case was referred to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office for prosecution. In the state court, defendant was charged with possession with intent to deliver more than 650 grams of cocaine, MCL 333.7401(2)(a)(i); MSA 14.15(7401)(2)(a)(i), and possession with intent to deliver marijuana, MCL 333.7401(2)(c); MSA 14.15(7401)(2)(c). Defendant filed a motion to suppress the evidence obtained pursuant to the search warrant, alleging that the affidavit did not state sufficient probable cause. The court granted defendant's motion to suppress and denied the prosecution's motion for reconsideration. The court then dismissed the case. The prosecution appeals as of right. We reverse and remand.
