CHEHALIS –  The state Court of Appeals in a decision this week upheld the conviction of Jeffrey J. Johnson for possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver.

Johnson argued the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence discovered after he consented to a search of his home in the Vader area.

The three-member panel of justices disagreed with him and affirmed his conviction from Lewis County Superior Court.

The determination about the 2015 case was filed on Tuesday.

    Never consent to searches! Under any circumstances. There is a proper warrant process that is in place. Make whoever is requesting the search exercise that process.

    Law enforcement should have no problem abiding by the request for a warrant. If they do, then something chaptitoo is up…and that’s no good!
