People v. Dilworth

Following a bench trial in the circuit court of Will County, defendant, Kenneth Dilworth, was convicted of unlawful possession of a controlled substance (cocaine) with intent to deliver while on school property (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1991, ch. 561/2, par. 1407(b)(2)). The circuit court had earlier denied defendant’s motion to suppress evidence. The appellate court reversed defendant’s conviction, finding that his motion to suppress evidence should have been granted. (267 Ill. App. 3d 155.) We allowed the State’s petition for leave to appeal (145 Ill. 2d R. 315) and now reverse the appellate court.
