STATEMENT OF THE CASE
An information charged defendant Miguel Angel Frias with possession of a firearm by a felon (Pen. Code, § 29800, subd. (a)(1)), possession of ammunition by a felon (Pen. Code, § 30305, subd. (a)(1)), possession of black tar heroin (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350, subd. (a)), possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)), resisting a peace officer (Pen. Code, § 148, subd. (a)(1)), and possession of drug paraphernalia (Health & Saf. Code, § 11364, subd. (a)). Defendant filed a motion to suppress pursuant to Penal Code section 1538.5, and the trial court denied the motion. Following the denial of the motion, defendant pleaded no contest to possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)) and possession of a firearm within 10 years of a misdemeanor conviction (Pen. Code, § 29805). The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on formal probation for a period of three years. Defendant now appeals from the judgment of conviction, arguing that the trial court erroneously denied his motion to suppress. As set forth below, we will affirm.
