State of North Carolina v. Kyle Earl Parker

Greensboro, North Carolina criminal law lawyer represented Defendant charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.





Defendant Kyle Earl Parker appeals from two judgments for attempted heroin trafficking by possession, possession of a firearm by a felon, and other charges entered following guilty pleas, one of which was an "Alford guilty plea," that preserved his right to appeal an order denying his Motion to Suppress. Pursuant to his plea arrangement, Defendant also appeals the order denying his Motion to Suppress. Because (1) the trial court's Findings of Fact are supported by competent evidence, (2) the area adjacent to a gas pump at a service station is a public vehicular area under North Carolina General Statute § 20-4.01(32) (eff. 12 July 2017 to 20 June 2019) and (3) the trial court's Findings of Fact support its Conclusions of Law finding probable cause, we affirm the trial court's order denying the Motion to Suppress.

Affirmed.
