Syllabus

Motion to suppress evidence, probable cause, exigent circumstances, police interrogation. The trial court properly denied the appellant's motion to suppress the gun evidence because the appellant signed a consent to search, and the police searched the appellant's vehicle in accordance with a valid search warrant. Even if the police officers did not have a warrant, there were exigent circumstances that existed to provide them probable cause to search the appellant and briefly question him.
