Search and Seizure
Automobile exception; search incident to arrest

Corey Smith appeals a judgment convicting him of possessing cocaine with intent to deliver as a repeater. He pled no contest after the circuit court denied his motion to suppress cocaine seized from his vehicle. Smith argues the police lacked probable cause to search the vehicle. Because the police had probable cause to search under the automobile exception and probable cause to arrest Smith and search the vehicle incident to the arrest, we affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
