Probation search was valid by defendant’s prior consent

ONE case today, a Tuesday. Go figure:

Defendant’s terms of his suspended sentence, which he conveniently omits to argue in his brief, was sufficient basis for the search of his property. Officers came to the property “to serve some kind of a probate order” and found a meth lab. While they were there, the appellant showed up, and he was handcuffed, claimed control of the property, and consented. Appellant’s bad faith search argument was rejected on the facts, and the record supports the trial court’s conclusion. Morris v. State, 2007 Ark. App. LEXIS 680 (October 10, 2007)* (unpublished).
