Description

A federal indictment was filed against appellant, John Chafin, in the Eastern District of Kentucky, charging him with knowingly transporting firearms in interstate commerce with reasonable cause to believe that the state offense of "Wanton Endangerment in the First Degree," a felony under Kentucky law, was to be committed with them. Prior to and during the trial, Chafin moved to suppress rifles seized from his house on the ground that the affidavit used to obtain the warrant to search for the rifles was defective. The district court denied the motion. Chafin, who was found guilty by the jury, appealed. The only question raised by Chafin that requires discussion is the validity of the search and seizure that produced the rifles.
