Syllabus

The trial court did not err in denying appellant's motion to suppress video evidence that she was engaged in selling methamphetamine where the confidential informant was invited to the appellant's home for a prearranged transaction, or her motion to suppress evidence discovered during the search of her home because drug paraphernalia was in plain view of the police which provided probable cause to obtain a search warrant. The trial court did not err in denying appellant the use of hybrid counsel, nor did the court deny her the right of self-representation. Trial court did not err in accepting appellant's no contest plea even though her attorney vocally entered it at the hearing; the circumstances demonstrated she understood the plea was being entered and acquiesced.
