Syllabus

APPELLATE REVIEW/CRIMINAL – CONSTITUTIONAL LAW/CRIMINAL – SEARCH AND SEIZURE: Where the trial court specifically found that a marijuana cigarette in defendant's vehicle had been in the plain view of an officer, a search of the vehicle was supported by both the automobile and plain-view exceptions to the warrant requirement, and the trial court erred in suppressing all items found during the search of the vehicle. The trial court erred in suppressing money given by defendant to, and seized by police from, a third party where the money was recovered based on information received from a source independent of a statement made by defendant to police.
