P. v. Fernandez
After his motion to suppress evidence was denied, defendant Emil Fernandez pleaded no contest to possession of heroin. (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350, subd. (a).)[1] Imposition of sentence was suspended and defendant was placed on probation for three years on conditions including completion of a substance abuse treatment program.
On appeal, defendant contends his suppression motion was erroneously denied because the searching officers conducted an unconstitutional protective sweep that led directly to the seizure of the heroin. We shall affirm the judgment.
