Likewise, it supports a finding that he lived at the Residence. It does not, however, support a finding that there was a logical nexus between the two. Namely, the affidavit contains only two recited facts that could arguably support a nexus. They include (1) unspecified business owners&#8217; complaints that Mr. Jones sold drugs on Commerce Street (on the same street as the Residence), and (2) the affiant&#8217;s recitation that he followed Mr. Jones back to the Residence after a single drug transaction that occurred at a separate residence. Even given the required deference, these facts were insufficient to support the magistrate&#8217;s finding of a fair probability that the police would find contraband inside the Residence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surveillance of one trip home after a heroin deal doesn\u2019t show nexus to the premises where defendant lived.
