In a drug conspiracy prosecution, the denial of defendant’s motions to suppress is affirmed where: 1) the government’s application to wiretap defendant’s residence contained a full and complete statement as to whether or not other investigative procedures would be successful; 2) the issuing judge did not abuse his discretion in finding that the wiretap was necessary; and 3) the district court erred in finding a lack of probable cause to search defendant’s residence.
