In November and December 2012, Jeff Moe, a police officer with the City of Woodland Police Department and a member of the Yolo County Narcotics Task Force (task force), conducted surveillance on defendant’s house. On multiple occasions, Officer Moe observed people go to the house, knock on the door, enter, and then leave a short time later. He also observed a security camera affixed to the house above the front door. At approximately 6:30 a.m. on December 7, 2012, Officer Moe, members of the task force, and other law enforcement personnel entered defendant’s home for the purpose of conducting a search. Felix was detained as he came out of the southwest bedroom. Defendant, who was still in bed in the southwest bedroom, was also detained. The search of the house revealed: cables from the security camera running to a television in the southwest bedroom; a glass narcotic smoking pipe on a countertop in the living room; Felix’s wallet containing $1,569 in cash; a digital scale; several packages containing marijuana in the top drawer of a nightstand in the southwest bedroom; defendant’s wallet containing $1,186 in cash in another nightstand in the southwest bedroom; $300 in cash in the top drawer of a dresser in the southwest bedroom; $250 in cash in a nylon pouch clipped to the interior of some clothes in the closet in the southwest bedroom; $66 in cash in a pair of female pants; a plastic bag containing methamphetamine hidden inside a computer printer in the southwest bedroom; and a radio frequency scanner able to scan frequencies including the Woodland Police Department in the living room. Defendant and Felix both told Officer Moe they had been living in the house for at least a month. Felix stated he used methamphetamine “every so often” and all the methamphetamine found inside the printer was his. Defendant was charged with possession for sale of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession of marijuana for sale, and possession of drug
