Where a defendant argued that a search of his person incident to arrest for trespass was without probable cause to believe he had committed trespass, the officer had a reasonable belief that the defendant was trespassing based on his own previous warnings to the defendant and based on his understanding of the housing development’s policy, so the trial court did not err in denying the motion to suppress.
