Search and Seizure
Search incident to arrest; probable cause

The State appeals an order granting Gordon Schlapper's motion to suppress evidence obtained when police searched his vehicle. The State argues the evidence should not have been suppressed because the search was (1) validly conducted as incident to the passenger's arrest, and (2) supported by probable cause. We agree. We therefore reverse and remand. This opinion will not be published.
