1Opinion of the Court

Andrews, Presiding Judge.

The State appeals the trial court’s grant of Hugh Sidney Goodman’s motion to suppress in this narcotics case.

An appellate court reviewing a trial court’s order on a motion to suppress evidence must accept the trial court’s decisions with regard to questions of fact and credibility unless they are clearly erroneous. The reviewing court must also construe the evidence most favorable to the upholding of the trial court’s findings and judgment and must not disturb the findings of the trial judge unless no evidence exists to support them.
