Finally, Elliott argues at length that Wilson fabricated the evidence against him. This contention is insufficient. The magistrate refused to find that Wilson had in fact fabricated any testimony. Although there was some evidence that Wilson once considered such a plan, the magistrate concluded that "[t]here was no evidence presented at the hearing to show that informant Wilson ever carried out any proposed scheme to plant cocaine." Elliott is unable to point to any finding in the record showing that Wilson made misstatements. Moreover, Elliott's allegations of wrongdoing go only to the presence of cocaine. Wilson also testified as to the presence of a marijuana-growing operation, and to the fact that sometime previously Elliott had a garbage bag full of marijuana at his residence. These statements alone are sufficient to establish probable cause.

The petition for rehearing is denied, and the suggestion for rehearing en banc is rejected.
