AFFIRMED A jury found appellants, Harvey Morris and Donna Morris, guilty of the crimes of possession of drug paraphernalia with the intent to use and simultaneous possession of a controlled substance and a firearm. Mr. Morris and Ms. Morris were sentenced to 168 months and 120 months of imprisonment respectively on the simultaneous-possession charge. Both were fined $2,500 on the drug-paraphernalia charge. 1 On appeal, Ms. Morris challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support her conviction for simultaneous possession of a controlled substance and a firearm. Further, both appellants argue that the circuit court erred in refusing to suppress evidence seized from their residence pursuant to a search warrant. Citing Article 2, § 15 of the Arkansas Constitution, they argue that the search was illegal because the search warrant was based on evidence taken during an illegal warrantless search and seizure of appellants' trash, which they had set out for pickup by a trash- collection service. We affirm.
