Paul Gregory Hill appeals following his conviction on one count of trafficking in methamphetamine.

Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence showed that Hill rented a trailer in a small, secluded trailer park in Crawford County. At one point, his next-door neighbors and their visitors began to notice an unusual ammonia or ether smell coming from Hill’s trailer and saw a lot of cars going in and out of the area of the trailer. Hill was seen at his trailer on at least one occasion when this peculiar odor was present. On another occasion, Hill told one of the neighbors that he had “cooked” “crystal meth,” and explained the amount of profit he received from making the drug. The neighbors contacted Harry Colbert, a drug enforcement officer with the Bibb County Sheriff’s Department, about the situation, and began helping him by recording tag numbers from the cars going in and out. The neighbors also paged Colbert whenever they noticed the odor from Hill’s trailer.
