Description
The Utah Court of Appeals upheld the conviction of Pamela Higgins for attempted possession of a contraband substance. State v. Higgins, 837 P.2d 9 (Utah Ct. App. 1992), cert. granted, 857 P.2d 948 (Utah 1993). The case is now here on certiorari to review that courts decision sustaining the trial courts refusal to suppress cocaine found in Higgins possession at the time of her arrest. She contends that the court of appeals erred in holding that (1) she was not "seized" under the Fourth Amendment when police ran drivers license and warrants checks that revealed an outstanding warrant for her arrest, resulting in her arrest, and that (2) cocaine obtained from a search incident to her arrest was admissible. Id. at 12.
