v.
Carmichael Arvel Glenn, Appellant.
Appellate Case No. 2011-188248
Appeal From Lee County
R. Knox McMahon, Circuit Court Judge
Unpublished Opinion No. 2013-UP-436
Heard November 7, 2013 – Filed November 27, 2013
AFFIRMED
Appellate Defender Breen Richard Stevens, of
Orangeburg, and Appellate Defender Benjamin John
Tripp, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant
Deputy Attorney General David Spencer, both of
Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Carmichael Glenn appeals his conviction for trafficking between
ten and twenty-eight grams of crack cocaine, arguing the trial court erred in finding
probable cause existed to initiate the traffic stop of the vehicle in which Glenn was
a passenger. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following
authorities: State v. Provet, 405 S.C. 101, 107, 747 S.E.2d 453, 456 (2013)
("South Carolina appellate courts review Fourth Amendment determinations under
a clear error standard. We affirm if there is any evidence to support the trial court's
ruling."); State v. Burgess, 394 S.C. 407, 412, 714 S.E.2d 917, 919 (Ct. App. 2011)
(holding the decision to stop an automobile is reasonable where the police have
probable cause to believe that a traffic violation has occurred).
AFFIRMED.
HUFF, GEATHERS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
