Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Holloway finds the lower court properly convicted defendant of possession with intent to sell or deliver more than .5 grams of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a public elementary school, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving on a suspended license and violation of the financial responsibility law. During the course of a traffic stop outside an elementary school, defendant's vehicle was searched as a K-9 indicated the possible presence of narcotics. The lower court found the officers had probable cause for the traffic stop as they believed defendant was driving with his license suspended, officers also had a warrant for defendant’s arrest prior to the stop, and since defendant was on probation, his cell phone was subject to a warrantless search. Defendant received an effective sentence of 25 years incarceration. The instant court finds defendant is not entitled to relief in this matter. Affirmed.
