Syllabus

The trial court did not err by overruling the appellant's motion to suppress. Police officers had probable cause to search a lawfully stopped vehicle for illegal drugs after a drug dog \hit\ on the passenger door of the vehicle, which was where the appellant had been sitting. Appellant was told to leave her purse in the vehicle when she was asked to exit the vehicle for the deployment of the drug dog, but she did not, and the drugs were found in her purse since the purse was capable of concealing the object of the officers' search, they could search the purse. Judgment affirmed. (Froelich, J., dissenting.)
