Description
OPINION BY ROWLEY, P.J.: Appellant Thomas Stackfield was convicted after a bench trial on May 20, 1993, of two counts of unlawful possession of a
controlled substance, 35 P.S. § 780-113(a)(16)(A) and § 780-113(a)(31)(i) and (ii)(B), and sentenced to
five (5) to ten (10) months incarceration. On appeal, appellant claims that the trial court erred in admitting evidence seized
from his pockets pursuant to a search that he alleges exceeded the scope permissible under Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 88 S.Ct
1868, 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968), in that the officer conducting the frisk of appellant admitted that he felt nothing resembling
weapons in appellant's pockets. 1
