Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

MILLER, Presiding Judge.

Following a warrant search of his residence, Arthur James Dotson (“Dotson”) and his brother, Donte Dotson (collectively “the Dotsons”), were indicted for manufacturing marijuana, other drug offenses, and two firearms offenses. The Dotsons filed a motion to suppress the evidence seized during the search of Dotson’s residence.

For the reasons set forth herein, we reverse.
