Alexander Pokatilov v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the conviction for possession of marijuana with purpose to deliver. It held that the evidence sufficiently linked the appellant to marijuana found in a vehicle he was transporting, that the model constructive-possession instruction was adequate, and that the trial court properly declined to reinstruct the jury. It also upheld the traffic stop, continued detention, and consent-based search. The court of appeals opinion was vacated.
