The following excerpt is from People v. Tuadles, 7 Cal.App.4th 1777, 9 Cal.Rptr.2d 780 (Cal. App. 1992):
In People v. Aho, supra, there was probable cause to believe defendant was the source of methamphetamine based on statements from reliable informants and the finding of defendant's name, address and telephone number in the address book of an individual who was arrested for selling metamphetamine and who identified defendant as his supplier. The court found these facts plus the officer's expert opinion persons dealing narcotics frequently hide their contraband in their homes provided probable cause for a warrant to search defendant's residence. (166 Cal.App.3d at pp. 991-993, 212 Cal.Rptr. 686.)
