MEMORANDUM OPINION[*]
JUDGE JOSEPH E. BAKER.
In this appeal from the Circuit Court of the City of Norfolk (trial court), the Commonwealth contends that the trial court erroneously sustained the motion of Louis Bernard McClean (appellee) to suppress evidence obtained from appellee’s person during a police search.
We have reviewed the record and, for the reasons set forth in the opinion of the trial court, agree that the search of appellee conducted by Officer Eicher violated appellee’s Fourth Amendment rights.
Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Affirmed.
