Search and Seizure
Protective searches; reasonable suspicion

Deandre Buchanan appeals a judgment of conviction, entered on his no contest plea, for possession of THC with intent to deliver (two hundred grams or less). Buchanan argues the circuit court erred by denying his motion to suppress marijuana found during a protective search for weapons following a routine traffic stop. We conclude the search was justified by specific, articulable facts supporting a reasonable suspicion that Buchanan posed a threat to the officers.

Accordingly, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
