Rufus Merlin Sumlin, Jr., pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, and being a felon in possession of ammunition, both in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). In a prior appeal, we reversed the District Court’s 1 application of a four-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(5) for using or possessing firearms in connection with another felony offense, because the government’s evidence lacked sufficient indicia of reliability. See United States v. Sumlin, 8 Fed.Appx. 575, 577 (8th Cir. 2001) (unpublished per curiam).

On remand, the government presented the testimony and reports of three police officers. This evidence chiefly related to *173 the observations of a confidential informant (since deceased) at five controlled buys of cocaine base at Sumlin’s apartment, and the items seized from the apartment when a search warrant was executed.

We are satisfied that the District Court did not clearly err in determining that Sumlin possessed firearms in connection with drug trafficking. See United States v. Rohwedder, 243 F.3d 423, 427-28 (8th Cir. 2001). The evidence presented at re-sentencing established Sumlin’s direct or constructive possession of the firearms, see United States v. McCracken, 110 F.3d 535, 541 (8th Cir. 1997), and it was reasonable for the Court to infer that the firearms’ presence facilitated or had the potential to facilitate the drug trafficking, see United States v. Belitz, 141 F.3d 815, 817-18 (8th Cir. 1998). Nor did the Court abuse its discretion in concluding that the informant’s statements, presented through the testimony of the police officer who had worked with him, had sufficient indicia of reliability. See United States v. Wise, 976 F.2d 393, 402-04 (8th Cir. 1992) (en banc), cert. denied, 507 U.S. 989, 113 S.Ct. 1592, 123 L.Ed.2d 157 (1993).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the District Court.
