The State appeals the trial court’s grant of James Hanson and Deborah Sue Huddleston’s motion to suppress evidence of marijuana found during a vehicle search following a traffic stop. Driver James W. Hanson, who was not in violation of any traffic law, was stopped by Officer Sutton to check upon his physical condition, as he purportedly was weaving within his traffic lane. The court determined that the officer’s testimony was not credible, and that the police conduct of the stop amounted to a ploy to create a basis to search defendants’ vehicle where probable cause was lacking. We affirm.

Following a search of the vehicle and Huddleston’s purse, Driver Hanson and passenger Deborah S. Huddleston, were each charged with one count of violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
