The plain view doctrine...


On Wednesday January 16 at about 9:00 p.m. Greenville Police Officer J.W. Wooten was patrolling on E. Fifth Street near Summit Street when he saw from his patrol car several street signs hanging on the walls inside the front room of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house. 

Further investigation by the Officer Wooten led to the recovery of 12 stolen street signs.   While conducting that investigation, Officer Wooten developed probable cause to apply for a search warrant of the house.  

Service of the search warrant by police officers resulted in the seizure of 49 grams of marijuana packaged for resale; a digital scale; 3 Adderall pills; and $80 cash.
