State v. Hammond

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed Hammond’s convictions for possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. It held that Hammond voluntarily consented to the warrantless search of her vehicle and that the officers had probable cause to arrest her after finding suspected methamphetamine, making the ensuing search of her person valid as incident to arrest. The court also held that her renewed evidentiary objections and sufficiency challenge failed because they depended on the unsuccessful suppression arguments.
