1. “In September of 2013,1 received information that a subject that goes by the name “Mike T” was selling, using and storing narcotics at 529 Ashbrooke [sic] Dr. Through investigative means, I was able to identify Terrence Michael Turner as a possible suspect. Terrence Michael [T]umer, AKA: Michael Cooper Turner has been charged with PWISD Methylenedioxy-methamphetamine, Possess Dimethyltryptamine, PWISD Psylocybin, PWISD Cocaine, Possess Heroin, PWIMSD Schedule I, Maintain a Vehicle/Dwelling, Trafficking in MDMA, Conspire to sell Schedule I and other drug violations dating back to 2001. On 9/24/2013 I conducted a refuse investigation at 529 Ashebrook Dr. St [sic] Raleigh, NC 27609. The 96 gallon City of Raleigh refuse container was at the curb line in front of 529 Ashebrook Dr. Detective Ladd removed one bag of refuse from the 96 gallon container and we took it to a secured location for further inspection. Inside the bag of refuse, I located correspondence to Michael Turner of 529 Ashebrook Dr. Raleigh, NC 27600 [sic], also in this bag of refuse, I located a small amount of marijuana residue in a fast food bag, which tested positive as marijuana utilizing a Sirche # 8 field test kit. Based on the above stated facts coupled with my training and experience it is my reasonable belief that illegal narcotics are being used and/or sold from inside this location. Based on the above, I respectfully request this warrant be issued.”
