10 Fla.L.Weekly 2690

State v. Berrios

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided December 3, 1985

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1985-12-03

Relies on New York v. Belton

Decided 1985-12-03

PER CURIAM.

¶1We find that the state failed to meet its burden of proof so as to require reversal under New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454, 101 S.Ct. 2860, 69 L.Ed.2d 768 (1982). There is no evidence in the record that the hatchback portion of the Mustang, in which the police found the paper bag containing cocaine, was accessible from the interior of the car. The state’s remaining points lack merit.

¶2Affirmed.
