State v. Medina

Summary

The court affirmed the amended judgment after concluding that officers lawfully searched Medina’s unlocked vehicle under the automobile exception. The vehicle was capable of being moved quickly, and the officers had probable cause based on Medina’s suspicious conduct and their observation of drug-related items in plain view. The court also held that the district court’s factual findings were supported by sufficient competent evidence and were not contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence.
