District Court of Appeal of Florida February 26, 1997, No. 95-3778 (O'Neal v. State)

STEVENSON, J.

Appellant, Paul O’Neal, was tried by jury and convicted of operating a “chop shop” and five counts of possession of a motor vehicle with an altered or removed vehicle identification number. O’Neal challenges the trial court’s denial of his pretrial motion to suppress certain vehicles and vehicle parts that were uncovered during a warrantless search. We affirm.
