Haney v. Commonwealth

OPINION

D. LAMBERT, JUDGE:

Jason Haney appeals his conviction resulting from the entry of an Alford plea conditioned on that right. The Morgan Circuit Court denied his motion to suppress certain evidence. He presents the following issues: whether the evidence adequately established his constructive possession of evidence seized in a search of the garage he occupied at the time of the search, and whether the arresting officer had a sufficient basis for conducting a pat down of his person. After careful review and finding no error, we affirm.
