P. v. Sanchez CA2/6
Steve Paul Sanchez was convicted by jury of weapon and drug charges. He contends that the evidence against him was obtained in an illegal search. (U.S. Const., 4th Amend.) The trial court denied his motion to suppress the evidence.
We affirm. Appellant was stopped for speeding. He became combative during the ensuing investigation of his sobriety and was arrested. The incriminating evidence came from a lawful search of appellant when he was arrested. We modify the judgment by staying appellant’s sentence on count 3 (possession of a controlled substance), which is duplicative of the sentence imposed on count 1 (possession of a controlled substance with a firearm). (Pen. Code, § 654.)
