Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by The State appeals the dismissal with prejudice of two counts of
a multiple-count complaint as a sanction for the State's failure
to comply with a discovery order to disclose the identity of a
confidential informant. A detailed recital of the facts leading
up to the dismissal by the district court is necessary to
understand the issues raised by the State in this appeal. On or about March 20, 1989, James Blair was working as an
undercover informant for the Salina Police Department and made a
controlled buy of two pounds of methamphetamine. After this buy,
officers of the Salina Police Department applied for several
search warrants for places believed to be related to the drug
transaction. One search warrant was for defendant's residence
just outside Salina in Saline County, Kansas. This search warrant
was executed on March 25, 1989. Defendant, who was home at the
time the officers arrived, was arrested and taken into custody.
