United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's conviction for possessing pseudoephedrine knowing it would be used to manufacture methamphetamine is affirmed where: 1) the information in support of the search warrant at issue supported a belief that defendant was engaged in an ongoing criminal enterprise and that evidence of her illegal activities would be found at her residence; and 2) based on the information obtained from a police drive-by, the government informant, and other investigative efforts, the police had sufficient cause to believe that certain chemical odors emanated from the defendant's house.
