FITZPATRICK, Judge.
Alexander Mejia (appellant) was convicted of possession with intent to distribute cocaine in violation of Code § 18.2-248. On appeal, appellant contends that the trial court erred in failing to suppress cocaine seized from him on the ground that it was discovered as the result of an illegal search of his person. We agree with appellant and reverse the conviction.
