Search and Seizure — probable cause

Marcus Norfleet appeals from a judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration, second offense. The main issue on appeal is whether at the time of Norfleet’s arrest for attempting to elude an officer, police had probable cause to believe Norfleet was the driver of the suspect vehicle. The circuit court found probable cause and denied Norfleet’s motion to suppress evidence subsequent to his arrest. We affirm as the circuit court properly found that police had probable cause for Norfleet’s arrest on multiple charges, and therefore, Norfleet’s motion to suppress was properly denied. This opinion will not be published.
