Search and Seizure
Expectation of privacy
Michael D. Townsell appeals from a judgment of conviction entered upon his guilty plea to one count of possessing with intent to deliver more than five grams of cocaine but not more than fifteen grams of cocaine as a second or subsequent offense.
The issue is whether the circuit court erred by denying his motion to suppress the cocaine that police found in a tavern’s public toilet. Because we conclude that Townsell lacks standing to challenge the search in this case, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
