KONENKAMP, Justice (on reassignment).
[¶ 1.] In this appeal, we must decide if once a suspect surrenders a weapon to investigating officers, may the officers continue a patdown search when they still observe suspicious bulges which might be concealed weapons. The trial court upheld the search which ultimately revealed illegal drugs. We affirm because if officers reasonably suspect more weapons may be concealed, they may continue their patdown search.
