Willie J. Bailey v. State of Indiana
18A-CR-2317
Criminal. 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. Finds Bailey’s rights were not violated in searches of his vehicle at a gas station or two addresses associated with him; that the warrant authorizing those searches was supported by probable cause; that the evidence connecting Bailey with drugs found at those homes was sufficient to support his conviction; and that prosecutors’ closing arguments were not fundamental error.
