People v. Coleman

461 N.W.2d 615, 436 Mich. 124

Opinions

Levin, J.

As set forth in the concurring opinion, the search of Coleman’s purse did not amount to a search of her person.¹ The search was permissible as a search of a container in which items specified in the warrant might be found.²

Because the search of Coleman’s purse was not a search of her person, there is no need to consider Ybarra v Illinois, 444 US 85; 100 S Ct 338; 62 L Ed 2d 238 (1979), People v Arterberry, 431 Mich 381; 429 NW2d 574 (1988), or the other authorities cited in the concurring opinion concerning a search of a person.

Reversed and remanded.

Brickley, Cavanagh, and Archer, JJ., concurred with Levin, J.
