Court of Appeals of Indiana
Herman O. Fritz v. State of Indiana
22A-CR-2340
Criminal. Affirms and reverses in part Herman O. Fritz’s convictions of Level 6 felony possession of methamphetamine, Class A misdemeanor resisting law enforcement, Class A misdemeanor possession of marijuana with a prior conviction and Class C misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia. Finds the Elkhart Superior Court did not abuse its discretion in the admission of evidence seized from a pat-down search and subsequent search incident to Fritz’s arrest. Also finds the state failed to present sufficient evidence to sustain Fritz’s possession-of-marijuana conviction. Remands with instructions for the trial court to vacate Fritz’s conviction and sentence for the Class A misdemeanor possession-of-marijuana conviction.
