OPINION

MATTHEWS, Justice.

The question presented by Clark is whether a police search of his rented vehicle was invalid. The question presented by the State on cross-appeal is whether Clark's sentence was too lenient. We answer no to both questions and affirm. The necessary facts are set forth in the discussion of each question.
