District Court of Appeal of Florida

A conviction and sentence for possession of marijuana with intent to sell is reversed where the trial court erred in denying a motion to suppress evidence since defendant could not be considered to have voluntarily consented to a search because the record clearly established he was effectively detained and acquiesced to the apparent authority of law-enforcement officers.
