Docket entry
040143 El-Amin v. Commonwealth 01/14/2005 (Revised 01/27/2005) In a prosecution for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled substance, the trial court did not err in refusing to suppress evidence found as a result of a pat-down search of the defendant following discovery of a hand gun on the person of one of his three companions while they were located in a known high crime area. Under these circumstances, the search was reasonable given legitimate safety concerns of the investigating officers. The defendant's convictions are affirmed.
