1Opinion of the CourtLevy, J.
[¶ 1] Thomas Langlois appeals from a judgment of conviction for unlawful possession of a scheduled drug. 17-A M.R.S.A. § 1107(1), (2)(A) (1983) (Class C).1 He argues that the Superior Court (Penobscot County, Hjelm, J.) erred in denying his motion to suppress packets of heroin seized by the police and statements he made to the police. Langlois asserts that this evidence should have been suppressed because it resulted from an illegal de facto arrest that occurred when a police officer ordered him to lie face down on the ground at gunpoint. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
