Martinez v. State

Miller, Judge.

Martin Martinez was convicted of possession of cocaine. He was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped during a police roadblock. A search of his person revealed cocaine folded into a dollar bill found in his wallet. Finding the search was consensual, the trial court denied his motion to suppress the evidence, which order he appeals. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

When reviewing the decision of the trial court on a motion to suppress, the evidence is construed most favorably to uphold the court’s findings and judgment. Tate v. State, 264 Ga. 53, 54 (1)…
