Description
DUNN, Chief Justice (on reassignment). Defendant appeals his conviction in the Ninth (now Third) Judicial Circuit Court of
three counts of unlawful possession of controlled substances. He was found guilty following a trial to the court on March
10, 1976. We affirm. On January 20, 1975, the Spink County sheriff presented twelve complaints to the local magistrate. All of these complaints
concerned individuals who allegedly distributed controlled substances to Richard Carlson, a paid drug informant, sometime
between September and November 1974. One of the complaints charged defendant with distribution of tetrabydrocannabinol. The
magistrate inquired about the background of the complaints. The sheriff stated that Carlson had been hired by the county to
purchase drugs, that he had worked similarly with other agencies, that he had at one time been connected with drugs, and that
he had been "doing the job that he was hired to do" in Spink County. Arrest warrants were issued.
