Criminal procedure — Motion to suppress evidence — Marijuana smell

Mario Vicks, appellant, was arrested and charged, in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, with two counts of wearing, carrying, or transporting a handgun, after the police found him in possession of a handgun while in a vehicle. Prior to trial, Vicks filed a motion to suppress, which was denied by the circuit court. Vicks thereafter pleaded guilty to one count of transporting a handgun in a vehicle and was sentenced to a term of two years’ imprisonment, with all but two days suspended, and one year of supervised probation.

In this appeal, Vicks presents a single question: Did the circuit court err in denying the motion to suppress?
