1Opinion of the Court

BERGER, Judge.

On December 13, 2017, Scott A. Foster ("Defendant") pleaded no contest to one count of possession of a firearm by a felon and one count of possession of methamphetamine. Before Defendant entered his plea, Defendant moved to suppress evidence obtained pursuant to a search warrant. The trial court denied the motion to suppress and Defendant timely appealed. On appeal, Defendant contends that probable cause did not exist to issue the search warrant because the officers relied on uncorroborated information provided by an unreliable informant. We disagree.
