FELTON, Chief Judge.
Michael Junior Bellamy (“appellant”) was convicted by the Circuit Court of the City of Norfolk (“trial court”) of possession of ammunition by a convicted felon in violation of Code § 18.2-308.2. On appeal, appellant contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence found during a search incident to his arrest, arguing that he was unlawfully arrested based on erroneous information supplied to the arresting officer by a police dispatcher. For the following reasons, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
