Syllabus

The trial court did not erroneously apply the plain view doctrine when overruling Appellant's motion to suppress. The detective who discovered Appellant's drugs in plain view was lawfully located in an area from which he could observe the drugs because he had a legitimate purpose for entering the area in question and the area in question was substantially open to public view and part of a premises that had a reduced expectation of privacy. Judgment affirmed. (Froelich, J., concurring.)
