GRANTED. The ruling of the trial court granting the motion to suppress is reversed, and the motion to suppress is denied. Once the officer determined the pills were not routine, over the counter medication, and the defendant indicated he had no prescription, the officer had probable cause to arrest the defendant. The case is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.
