WARD v. STATE

No. A05A2288.

627 S.E.2d 862 (2006)

277 Ga. App. 790

WARD v. The STATE.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

February 28, 2006.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steven E. Lister, Jonesboro, Scott W. DePlonty, for appellant.

Tommy K. Floyd, District Attorney, Thomas R. McBerry, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.

RUFFIN, Chief Judge.

Karen Lynn Ward appeals her conviction for possessing methamphetamine, arguing that she was unlawfully detained and patted down by the arresting officer and that the trial court should have suppressed the drugs the officer found. For reasons that follow, we reverse.

When considering the denial of a motion to suppress where the facts are undisputed, we review de novo the trial court's application of the law to the facts.
