Docket entry
981447 Lovelace v. Commonwealth 11/05/1999 Based on a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, the search of the defendant was not consistent with the Fourth Amendment. Accordingly, the Court of Appeals erred in upholding the circuit court's denial of defendant's motion to suppress evidence obtained during the search. That judgment is reversed, the indictment charging possession with intent to distribute cocaine, and the warrant for possession of marijuana, are dismissed.
