District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided March 17, 2011.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edward E. Schwab , was on the brief for appellant.

Ronald C. Machen, Jr. , United States Attorney, and Roy W. McLeese III , Chrisellen R. Kolb , and Michael Ambrosino , Assistant United States Attorneys, were on the brief for appellee.

Before RUIZ, KRAMER, and OBERLY, Associate Judges.

OBERLY, Associate Judge:

Jovaughn Parsons appeals his conviction of one count of possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), in violation of D.C.Code § 48-904.01(d) (2001). Parsons argues that the trial court erred when it denied his motion to suppress evidence obtained during a search based on an informant's tip. We agree and hold that Parsons's conviction must be reversed and the case remanded for a new trial.
