PER CURIAM
In our decision in State v. Davenport, 272 Or App 725, 357 P3d 514 (2015), we concluded that the trial court erred in denying defendant’s motion to suppress evidence obtained as a result of a law enforcement officer’s warrant-less removal of a small object from defendant’s pocket. As explained in our previous opinion, during the course of a traffic stop, the officer learned that defendant had a BB gun inside his vehicle. Thereafter, the officer ordered defendant from his vehicle, took him about 10 feet away, and patted him down. During the pat down, he felt an object that was, according to the officer, “very consistent with [the] length and diameter [of] a bullet.” The officer then removed the object, which was a container of methamphetamine. We concluded that the officer’s search of defendant was not justified by the officer-safety exception to the warrant requirement and, accordingly, reversed and remanded the judgment of conviction.
The state now seeks reconsideration, contending that our decision contained a factual error. See ORAP 6.25(1)(a). We allow reconsideration to correct a typographical error and adhere to our previous opinion as modified.
The state notes that in our opinion we described the officer’s weight as 255 pounds, when in fact the record indicates that the officer weighed 155 pounds. 272 Or App at 728 n 2. The description of the officer’s weight as 255 pounds was a typographical error. We modify that part of the opinion to state:
“The officer testified that he was 5'6" tall and weighed 155 pounds and defendant was 6' 1" and weighed 300 pounds.”
The typographical error did not affect our reasoning or disposition and, therefore, we adhere to our former opinion as modified.
Reconsideration allowed; former opinion modified and adhered to as modified.
