[Thus, o]nce [the defendant was placed under arrest, and his belongings placed under the complete control of law enforcement officers, any further search was required to meet the constitutional provisions of the warrant requirement or fall within one of its exceptions. Therefore, the circuit court’s order suppressing the use of contraband recovered from the search of the pillow as evidence is affirmed.”

Therefore, the warrantless search of the pillow became unreasonable once it was placed under the complete control of the law enforcement officers.”
