Nielsen v. State
393 So. 2d 1188
Fla. Dist. Ct. App.

Check Treatment
BASKIN, Judge.

We affirm the trial court’s denial of defendant’s motion to suppress cocaine seized without a warrant. Appellant clearly appeared to be drunk when he entered his car and fumbled for his keys. The circumstances afforded the officer approaching the car a plain view of the contraband, State v. Ruiz, 360 So.2d 1320 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978), and probable cause to arrest. Smith v. State, 363 So.2d 21 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978); State v. Harris, 281 So.2d 405 (Fla. 4th DCA 1973).

Affirmed.
