Commonwealth v. Brown
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
BECK, Judge.
This is an appeal by Kevin Brown from a judgment of sentence imposed by the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County following his conviction for possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. The sole question presented is whether the trial court erred by failing to suppress a bag of cocaine that appellant discarded after he was approached by two pólice detectives. After careful consideration, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
