Highlight

Constructive possession of drug paraphernalia is sufficient probable cause to arrest. Constructive possession can be inferred from the totality of the circumstances including (1) an accused's presence in the place where a controlled substance is found; (2) his proximity to the place where it is found; and (3) the fact the controlled substance was found in plain view.
A search incident to arrest applies where an officer has probable cause prior to conducting the search, and the arrest is substantially contemporaneous to the search.
