Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling appellant's motion to suppress, as the police initiated a proper traffic stop and also had reasonable suspicion to extend the duration of the stop due to a strong odor of burnt marijuana emanating from the vehicle in which appellant was a passenger. In addition, appellant voluntarily consented to a search of the car and of his person, which disclosed that he was in possession of illegal drugs. Furthermore, the trial court's sentence was not clearly and convincingly unsupported by the record. Judgment affirmed. (Froelich, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part.)
