LYONS v. STATE

No. 89-1957.

569 So.2d 531 (1990)

William Houston LYONS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

November 15, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James A. Johnston, Pensacola, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen. and Edward C. Hill, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges the trial court's denial of his motion to suppress controlled substances seized when he was stopped and frisked by police officers. Even assuming the frisk was justified under the facts of the case, the seizure of the bag of drugs was illegal because the officer's actions exceeded the permissible scope of the search. See Adams v. Williams, 407 U.S. 143, 92 S.Ct. 1921, 32 L.Ed.2d 612 (1972);
