No. 84-296.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
Nov. 9, 1984.
James V. Caltagirone of James V. Calta-girone & Associates, P.A., Tampa, for appellant.

Opinion:
LEHAN, Judge.
We affirm the trial court's denial of defendant's motion to suppress cocaine found on the person of defendant after a search incident to his arrest. We disagree with defendant's argument that the police lacked probable cause to arrest defendant who was present in a house where and when a drug transaction took place and who, after being detained, was identified by an accomplice as the drug supplier.
RYDER, C.J., and CAMPBELL, J., concur.
