231 N.W. 557 | Mich. | 1930
Defendant brings error to review judgment upon conviction of possessing intoxicating liquor.
The affidavit for the search warrant is in usual form, and the statement of fact to support the belief of affiant is that on October 9, 1929 (the day the warrant was issued), he bought and paid for, at the place, two drinks of moonshine whisky. This is sufficient. People v. Ranes,
The search warrant, following the affidavit, described the place to be searched: *255
"The dwelling house, outbuildings and premises including all garages thereon located at No. 1501 New York avenue, in the city of Flint, county of Genesee and State of Michigan."
The description of the place is definite enough.People v. Urban,
The complaint charged second offense. No evidence of this element of the charge was given at the examination.People v. McDonald,
The affidavit and the search warrant recited that the person or persons possessing the liquor at the place were unknown. It turned out that it was not defendant's home; he was merely a tenant of a stall in the garage, and it was there that a large quantity of his whisky was found. Defendant, on his motion to suppress, sought to challenge the statement of fact in the affidavit as false and therefore insufficient. SeePeople v. Burt,
Other assignments call for no discussion.
Affirmed.
