Best Answer

Yes, you can be convicted.

The issue there is whether the police were acting on the statement in good faith or if they knew the statement to be false. If the police were not acting in good faith (eg suborning perjury to obtain the statement), or failed to obtain a warrant at all, any evidence obtained from that search may be deemed to be inadmissible. But generally one person's statement would not be enough for the police to obtain a warrant but also some sort of actual evidence.
