Description
After the trial court denied his motion to suppress evidence, John Lynn Willoughby entered a conditional guilty plea to the charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and felon in possession of a firearm. The trial court sentenced him to ten years' imprisonment in the Arkansas Department of Correction with five and one-half years suspended. Pursuant to Ark.R.Crim.P. 24.3(b), Willoughby appeals the trial court's ruling, asserting that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress. We affirm. On December 13, 1999, Willoughby stopped at the Arkansas Highway Police Station on Interstate 40 near Alma. Officer Jack Stepp conducted a safety inspection of Willoughby's commercial truck. Stepp testified that during a typical inspection, an officer stops a commercial vehicle as it pulls up to the scales and checks the driver, his logbook, his fuel receipts, his paperwork, and his bill of lading. Stepp also testified that sometimes the inspections include the truck itself, such as the tire pressure, brakes, and items inside the truck, except for the driver's personal property. Stepp testified that when Willoughby came into the station, he would not stand directly in front of Stepp but over to the side. Willoughby also would not make eye contact or look at Stepp. Stepp stated that Willoughby's hands were shaking and that he acted nervous, giving Stepp the impression that he was trying to hide something, such as drug use. Stepp asked Willoughby if there were any drugs in the truck, and Willoughby replied that there should not be any. Stepp then asked Willoughby for consent to search the truck, and Willoughby asked for clarification about what seizable items meant on the consent form. After Stepp replied that it meant drugs, alcohol, stolen property, or similar items, Willoughby mentioned that there might be a radar detector in the truck, which Stepp stated is illegal in commercial trucks. Willoughby refused to sign the consent form.
