Robert L. Brown, Justice.
This is a pretextua~-arrest case. Kenneth Andrew Sullivan was arrested in 1998 in Conway. He was' charged with, among other offenses, possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver. The facts leading up to his arrest were set out in State v. Sullivan, 340 Ark. 315, 11 S.W.3d 526 (2000) (Sullivan I).
