Issues on Appeal: Whether 1) the district court abused its discretion in overruling the motions to suppress evidence found on the Appellant’s person and in his car; 2) the district court erred in finding that there was sufficient evidence to support conviction; and 3) the Appellant received ineffective assistance from his appointed counsel.
