Justices: Officer Could Open Container Found After Pat-Down Search
Justices: Officer Could Open Container Found After Pat-Down Search
By Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com
A police officer did not commit an unreasonable search when he opened a pill container found following a pat-down search after a man was lawfully placed under arrest for driving without a valid license. The Indiana Supreme Court upheld the search under the state constitution.
An Indianapolis police officer made a routine traffic stop of Antonio Garcia’s car for driving without his lights on. The officer discovered Garcia only had a foreign identification card and placed him under arrest. Before transporting him, the officer conducted a quick pat-down search, in which he discovered a pill container in Garcia’s pocket. He opened it and found one narcotic pill. When it was discovered Garcia did not have a prescription for the pill, he was charged with possession of a schedule III controlled substance as a Class D felony. He was convicted on the charge, but the Court of Appeals reversed.
Garcia did not dispute that the search of his person was permissible as a search incident to his arrest, but contested the scope. While the pill container found could be seized, he claimed that the officer needed a warrant or reasonable suspicion of illegal activity to open the container.
“After consideration of the three Litchfield factors and federal precedent on this very issue, we disagree. In the present case, opening the container found on Garcia’s person during the course of a search incident to a valid arrest was reasonable under the Indiana Constitution,†Justice Steven David wrote.
David also cited United States v. Robinson, 414 U.S. 218 (1973), in which the U.S. Supreme Court held the authority to search incident to arrest does not depend “upon what a court may later decide was the probability in a particular arrest situation that weapons or evidence would in fact be found upon the person of the suspect.â€
In Robinson, police conducted a traffic stop and lawfully arrested the driver for operating a motor vehicle after having his license revoked. During a pat-down search of the driver, the officer felt an object in a coat pocket, which was a cigarette pack. The officer opened the packet and discovered what was later determined to be heroin.
“Although the federal interpretation of reasonable searches under the Fourth Amendment is not binding upon this Court’s reasonableness analysis under Article 1, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution, in the present situation, we reach the same conclusion. Under Article 1, Section 11, opening a container found on the person of an arrestee in the course of a search incident to valid arrest will not automatically be deemed unreasonable. In the present case, the search of the container found on Garcia’s person during the course of a pat-down search was reasonable under Article 1, Section 11,†David wrote.
Justice Robert Rucker concurred in result only in Antonio Garcia v. State of Indiana, 49S05-1505-CR-335.
Men’s basketball puts 17-3 mark on the line Sunday
Aces look for 18th win at Indiana State
  On Sunday, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team will put its 4-game win streak and 17-3 record on the line as the Purple Aces travel to Indiana State for a 3 p.m. CT game versus the Sycamores.
Evansville makes the trip north on 41 to Terre Haute for the game, which will be televised by ESPNU and on ESPN3. Fans who do not subscribe to ESPNU through their cable companies will be unable to access the game on Sunday.
In Tuesday’s 74-66 win over Loyola, the Purple Aces led by as many as 19 points before the Ramblers hit their final seven shots to make it an 8-point game at the end. Egidijus Mockevicius posted game-highs in points with 23 and rebounds with 20; the most accurate shooter in the Valley hit 10 of his 13 attempts. D.J. Balentine inched closer to the UE scoring record with 22 points on the night and also racked up 7 assists, he is now under 100 points away from Colt Ryan’s UE record of 2,279 career points. The Aces are 6-1 in league play and 17-3 overall.
Averaging 14.6 rebounds per game, Egidijus Mockevicius’ efforts are the most in the NCAA since Tim Duncan hauled in 14.7 per game in 1996-97. Mockevicius has recorded 20 rebounds in back-to-back contests and continues to lead the nation and MVC.
Balentine now stands at 2,190 points in his career and has moved into the top ten in MVC history. He also has the 29th-most amount of points scored in the nation in the last ten years.
Evansville’s total of 17 wins this season is tied for second-best in the nation, only SMU has more with 18 victories.
A 79-66 loss at Southern Illinois pushed Indiana State’s record to 10-9 overall and 4-3 in the Valley. The Sycamores won four games in a row after falling in their opener, taking down Loyola, Drake, Illinois State and UNI. In non-conference play, ISU defeated Wyoming, Hofstra and Saint Louis.
Devonte Brown and Brenton Scott each average above 15 points per game, tallying 15.8 and 15.2 PPG, respectively. Brown registered 26 points last time out at SIU while Scott finished the game with 10. Everett Clemens leads the Sycamores with 6.4
