Charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, Michael Raymond Patton filed a motion to suppress certain evidence on the ground that police lacked both reasonable suspicion for the stop and probable cause for his arrest. After an evidentiary hearing, the trial court denied the motion but issued a certificate of immediate review. We granted Patton’s application for review and this appeal followed. Because the evidence supports the trial court’s denial of Patton’s motion to suppress, we affirm. In reviewing a trial court’s order on a motion to suppress, we are guided by three principles: First, when a motion to suppress is heard by the trial judge, that judge sits as the trier of fact . The trial judge hears the evidence, and his findings based upon conflicting evidence are analogous to the verdict of a jury and should not be disturbed by a reviewing court if there is any evidence to support it. Second, the trial court’s decision with regard to questions of fact and credibility must be accepted unless clearly erroneous. Third, the reviewing court must construe the evidence most favorably to the upholding of the trial court’s findings and judgment. Citations and punctuation omitted; emphasis omitted. Tate v. State , 264 Ga. 53, 54 1 440 SE2d 646 1994. “Where the evidence is uncontroverted and no question regarding the credibility of witnesses is presented, the trial court’s application of the law to undisputed facts is subject to de novo appellate review.” Vansant v. State , 264 Ga. 319, 320 1 443 SE2d 474 1994.
So viewed, the evidence showed that a woman who had been arrested told a special agent with the Flint Circuit Drug Task Force that she would set up the purchase of methamphetamine from Patton. The woman had not been previously used as a contact, but when she was arrested she provided police with reliable information about a stolen tractor. The agent monitored the telephone call the woman ostensibly made to Patton, but he could only hear her side of the conversation. He testified that he could not verify that the woman spoke with Patton. The woman arranged to meet Patton and make the drug purchase the next day at 9:00 p.m. at a Dairy Queen. She informed the agent that Patton would be driving a red Toyota Paseo with chrome rims and tinted windows, and that he would possibly have someone with him.
