Following a stipulated bench trial, Jaime Garza was convicted of a single count each of trafficking in methamphetamine1 and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.2 Garza now appeals from the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized by police during a consensual search of his vehicle, arguing that the search resulted from an illegal traffic stop. Discerning no error, we affirm. In considering an appeal from denial of a motion to suppress, this Court construes the evidence in favor of the trial court’s ruling, and we review de novo the trial court’s application of the law to undisputed facts. Additionally, we must defer to the trial court’s determination on the credibility of witnesses, and the trial court’s ruling on disputed facts must be accepted unless it is clearly erroneous. Moreover, in reviewing the denial of a motion to suppress, we consider all the evidence of record, including evidence introduced at trial. Punctuation omitted. Lindsey v. State .3 So viewed, the evidence shows on June 9, 2004, during the course of an undercover investigation, Detective Ubaldo Rios had a confidential informant the “CI” negotiate the purchase of a large quantity of cocaine and methamphetamine from a suspected drug dealer, later identified as Ricardo Escobar. The drug transaction was eventually scheduled for the next day, with Escobar agreeing to deliver the drugs to the CI’s apartment complex in Gwinnett County. To avoid unduly jeopardizing the CI’s safety, the detective instructed the CI that, once he had seen the drugs, he should refuse to go through with the transaction and then contact the detective, who would arrange for a traffic stop of Escobar.
Late on the morning of June 10, 2004, the detective and other law enforcement agents observed Escobar drive his vehicle into the parking lot at the CI’s apartment complex. Escobar exited his car carrying what appeared to be a white paper bag and met the CI in the parking lot. Escobar showed the CI the contents of the white bag and after the CI communicated to the detective that he had seen the drugs, he cancelled the transaction.
