Complaining of chest pains, defendant called 911. Attached to his address was a \u201csafety alert\u201d that police should show up for the safety of EMTs and firemen. As he was being transported to the hospital, he asked for his coat hanging on the porch rail. The officer felt the coat for weapons and found an unlabeled pill bottle, which he looked at to see if it was medication related to defendant\u2019s condition. Instead, it was illegal drugs. Looking in the bottle was within the emergency aid exception. Ex parte Byrd<\/a>, 2022 Ala. LEXIS 108 (Nov. 10, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
