COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY APPELLEE

OPINION
AFFIRMING
** ** ** ** **

BEFORE: GUIDUGLI, McANULTY, AND TACKETT, JUDGES.

McANULTY, JUDGE: The appellant, Jerry W. Adkins, appeals from an
order of the Pike Circuit Court denying his motion to suppress 28
ounces of marijuana, $705, and various other drug-related items.
Appellant contends that the search warrant obtained was not
executed in good faith. We affirm.

On October 16, 2000, Kentucky State Trooper Luke
Vanhoose received numerous complaints about the activities of one
John Justice. Acting on these complaints, Vanhoose apprehended
Justice and arrested him for Driving Under the Influence. While
in custody, Justice volunteered that he had just recently picked
up 17 sealed containers each containing over one pound of
marijuana from a truck at the Outreach Program in Virgie,

Kentucky. Justice further stated that he had delivered these
containers to Appellant at his residence in Pike County.

On October 17, 2000, Vanhoose obtained a search warrant
for Adkins
