STATE v. BOHANNA (2020)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. James D. BOHANNA, Appellant.

WD 82614

Decided: October 20, 2020

Division Three: Anthony Rex Gabbert, Presiding Judge, Edward R. Ardini, Jr., Judge and W. Douglas Thomson, Judge

Jedd C. Schneider, for Appellant. Kristen S. Johnson, for Respondent.

ORDER

James D. Bohanna appeals his conviction of first-degree trafficking after a jury trial. On appeal, Bohanna claims the trial court clearly erred in overruling his motion to suppress and subsequent objections at trial and admitting evidence of the methamphetamine found in the trunk of Tiffany Cotton's vehicle, of which he was a passenger. Bohanna claims that: (1) he was illegally seized because the stop of Cotton's vehicle was not supported by reasonable suspicion; and (2) he had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the plastic sack found in the trunk of Cotton's vehicle giving him standing to contest the search of the trunk. We affirm. Rule 30.25(b).
