Affirms Willie Bailey’s convictions of Level 2 felony counts of dealing in cocaine and dealing in narcotic drug; Level 6 felony counts of possession of a narcotic drug and felony escape for knowingly violating a home detention order; Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana; and the Marion Superior Court’s habitual offender sentencing enhancement.
