Phillip Dorsey Pike was convicted in a bench trial of trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He now appeals the trial court’s denial of his motions to suppress evidence seized by police. We affirm. On appeal from a motion to suppress, the evidence is viewed in a light most favorable to upholding the trial court’s judgment. The credibility of witnesses and the weight accorded their testimony rest with the trier of fact. Thus, the trial court’s findings on disputed facts and credibility must be accepted unless clearly erroneous. Punctuation and footnotes omitted. Sanders v. State , 247 Ga. App. 170 543 SE2d 452 2000. The evidence at the hearing on the motion to suppress and at trial showed that Cobb County police responded to an emergency domestic violence call in the early morning hours of April 1, 2000. When Officer Lester Maddox and his partner arrived at the scene, Greg Pike was waiting outside and he appeared “quite upset.” Pike said that he had been in an argument with his brother, Phillip Pike. During the argument, a window had been broken either by Phillip or his girlfriend, Amanda Dooley. Greg told the officers that he owned the house and he wanted Phillip to leave. Greg led the officers into the house and showed them the room where Phillip was staying. Because the electricity to the house had been turned off, there were no lights on, and the officers had to use their flashlights to see. The door to Phillip’s room was closed and had a deadbolt lock on it. The officer was unsure whether the door was locked, however, because he never tried the door.
The officers knocked on the door, and initially there was no response. After repeated knocking, the door was opened, revealing Phillip Pike and Amanda Dooley sitting on the bed. The officers stepped into the room to discuss the domestic dispute, and Officer Maddox testified that he then detected the odor of marijuana. After the officers noticed a partially burned marijuana joint in an ashtray, Officer Maddox asked whether the occupants had any drugs in the room. Phillip Pike said, “No,” and indicated that it was his room. The officers then asked if they could search the room and Pike told them that they could search if they wanted to, but they would not find anything. Dooley also consented to a search of her purse.
