Description
The facts show that on November 19, 1969 an informant notified the Phoenix Police Department that one "Boli" was selling heroin in Room 14 of the Portland Hotel in Phoenix. A search warrant was issued and a group of five officers proceeded to the hotel. The officers arrived at approximately 8:25 p. m. They knocked on the door and inquired "is Boli there?" The officers testified that an affirmative response came from the room and that the door was then opened by defendant. Defendant was alone in the room and apparently had been relaxing on the bed reading the newspaper, having removed his jacket and changed from his street shoes to shower slippers. Upon searching the room the officers discovered a large rubber balloon on top of a portable clothes closet. The balloon was covered with a piece of transparent plastic about a foot square. Inside the large balloon the officers found two other balloons. One of these contained 32 grams of procaine, and the other contained 14.1 grams of a brown powder, which was later determined to be 42% heroin. A witness for the state testified that if the procaine and heroin here involved had been mixed into a substance containing 10% heroin it would have made approximately 560 "papers" worth an estimated $5,000 if sold on the street.
