Description
DECISION & ORDER Contrary to the defendant's contention, the vehicle in which he was a passenger was lawfully stopped
for having a broken headlight, a violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law § 375(2)(a)(1) (see, People v Ingle, 36 N.Y.2d 413;
People v Barnes, 144 A.D.2d 371; People v Meyers, 139 A.D.2d 601). Thus, the weapon and bag of cocaine thereafter found in
plain view on the floor of the vehicle were properly ruled admissible at trial. We find nothing in the record to warrant disturbing
the hearing court's finding that the arresting police officer was a credible witness (see, People v Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759;
People v Africk, 107 A.D.2d 700). We find that the sentence was excessive to the extent indicated. The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised
in his pro se supplemental brief, are without merit.
