Annotate this CaseAppellant pleaded guilty to charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Appellant appealed, arguing that the circuit court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence seized following a traffic stop of his vehicle, claiming that the stop was illegal.
