Dixon“In our review of the trial court's denial of the motion to suppress, we look only to determine whether the evidence was sufficient to support the ruling. It is not this Court's province to substitute its discretion for that of the trial court, but instead from the record before us which encompasses all the circumstances, the total atmosphere of the case, we must decide only whether there was adequate evidence to support the trial court's action.”
