Syllabus

Search of automobile is proper under automobile exception where officers see marijuana in the car in plain view. Inventory search is proper where the car must be towed because appellant abandoned it in the driveway of an unrelated third person while fleeing the police. Offenses of drug possession and illegal conveyance do not merge because they were committed separately and with a separate animus. Costs of supervision and appointed counsel must be vacated where the trial court does not find that appellant has the ability to pay.
