Ashton v. State
Ashton v. State
Opinion of the Court
The appellant was charged with possession of cocaine and filed a motion to suppress the evidence against her. After denial of that motion, the appellant pled no contest to the charge, reserving the right to appeal the suppression issue. We affirm.
Police officers obtained the evidence in question when they stopped a vehicle in which the appellant was riding as a passenger and searched the area under the front seat. The appellant concedes that the stop of the vehicle was a lawful Terry stop,
Accordingly, we affirm the denial of the appellant’s motion to suppress.
