Defendant brings forward several assignments of error.
After careful review of the record and briefs, we find no prejudicial error. I. Defendant first contends that the trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to suppress the drugs recovered from him. In a related assignment of error, defendant also contends that the trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to suppress the statements he made to Officer Wayman at the time of his arrest. We disagree and find no error. Defendant contends that the drugs and his statements should have been suppressed because he was illegally seized by Officer Wayman in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
