He was sentenced to 10 years in prison with seven years and ten months suspended. Prior to trial, his motion to suppress the evidence was denied. He appeals his convictions based on claims of insufficient evidence and the court’s denial of his motion to suppress. For the following reasons, we affirm Copeland’s convictions.
