“[T]he search warrant contained a sufficient description so as to allow the officers to ascertain the correct identity of the [Schaffers’] premises. Even though there was no mailbox and the county road was inaccurate, the officers could find and did find the residence from the description. The fact- that the officers knew how to reach the residence combined with the description of the house and greenhouse made the prospect of a mistaken search remote.”

Schanefelt“provides that upon written request certain evidence and materials as set forth in the rule shall be disclosed to the defendant by the prosecution any time following the filing of charges.
