United States v. Miller

Opinion of the Court

Quinn, Judge:

The question presented by our grant of review is “whether there was probable cause to conduct a search of the accused at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.” The search led to discovery of four tablets of d-lysergic.acid die-thylamide (LSD) which, over defense objection, were admitted into evidence at the accused’s trial on a charge of possession of the substance, in violation of AR 600-50, paragraph 18.1, August 16, 1969.

1st Battalion, 29th Infantry, 197th Brigade, was stationed at Fort Ben-ning, Georgia. It was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Johnny J. Johnston.…
