OPINION

OLIVER-PARROTT, Chief Justice.

Appellant, Joel Anthony Mitchell, Jr., was indicted for possession of marijuana and possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. He pled not guilty to both offenses. The trial court found appellant guilty of both charges and assessed punishment at five-years confinement for possession of marijuana, and 20-years confinement and a $20,000 fine for possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. In three points of error, appellant argues the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress. We reverse.
