Description

The identity of the informant remains undisclosed. At the hearing on the motions to suppress, the officer testified that about a year before the instant arrests, he approached the informant for information relative to drugs; the informant inquired of the officer what consideration he would receive in return, to which the officer replied, "There's some money involved if you get some information. . . . We have a fund for cases made." The officer further testified that the informant was paid out of a Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (L.E.A.A.) account. The informant received a receipt for the amount paid to him for information used. He understood that the usual departmental practice was to pay the informants after the suspect was arrested; they would be paid only for precise information leading directly to an arrest or for important leads. The informant herein was not paid for all the information he gave the officer and was not guaranteed payment even for good information. He was paid $30.00 for the information relating to the instant case and had been paid an aggregate of approximately $100.00 over the one year period he had been working for the officer.
