P. v. Moon CA3
After observing defendant Steven Robert Moon engage in a suspected drug transaction in his car at a shopping center, officers conducted a warrantless search of his person and car and found methamphetamine. During a separate search of defendant’s residence pursuant to a warrant based on the earlier observations and seizure at the shopping center, officers recovered methamphetamine, a digital scale and a shotgun. The magistrate and trial court denied defendant’s motions to suppress the evidence and quash the warrant.
A jury convicted defendant of possession of methamphetamine for sale, possession of a controlled substance, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and misdemeanor driving on a suspended license. The trial court sentenced him to nine years four months in state prison.
