Syllabus

After the denials of his motions to suppress, appellant was convicted, in two separate cases, of carrying a concealed weapon and improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle. The trial court did not err in denying the motions to suppress. In the first case, the officers lawfully stopped appellant for jaywalking and conducted a pat down for weapons, during which a firearm was found in appellant's pants pocket. In the second case, the officers approached appellant's parked vehicle and saw through the car window, in plain view, a firearm on the rear floorboard. Judgments affirmed. (J. Donovan, concurring with the majority in Case No. 2019-CR-229 and concurring separately in Case No. 2018-CR-3653.)
