JONES v. STATE

No. 02A04-0402-CR-81.

814 N.E.2d 298 (2004)

Shaft JONES, Appellant-Defendant, v. STATE of Indiana, Appellee-Plaintiff.

Court of Appeals of Indiana.

September 7, 2004.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nikos C. Nakos, Fort Wayne, IN, Attorney for Appellant.

Steve Carter, Attorney General of Indiana, Grant H. Carlton, Deputy Attorney General, Indianapolis, IN, Attorneys for Appellee.

OPINION

BAKER, Judge.

Appellant-defendant Shaft Jones appeals his conviction for possession of cocaine, a class D felony.1 Specifically, he raises three issues; however, we find one dispositive: whether the trial court properly denied his motion to suppress. Finding that the search of a children's backpack that was improperly seized from the vehicle violated Jones's Fourth Amendment rights, we reverse and remand.
