1Opinion of the Court
LAWRENCE F. RODOWSKY (Retired, Specially Assigned), J.
Melissa Coley pled guilty in the Circuit Court for Caroline County to possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.1 She was sentenced to serve one year and one day in prison. On appeal, she challenges the court’s denial of her motion to suppress evidence police discovered during a warrantless search of her vehicle. The State concedes error. We disagree with the State’s conclusion, however,2 and, for the following reasons, we shall affirm Coley’s convictions.
