Syllabus

The trial court did not err by overruling appellant's motion to suppress drug evidence that was found inside his vehicle without a warrant. The drug evidence was discovered in plain view while police officers were lawfully engaged in a community caretaking/emergency-aid function. There was also no seizure of appellant's person due to appellant's unconsciousness when the police officers approached and opened his vehicle. Judgment affirmed.
