Defendant appealed from his 35-year sentence for methamphetamine trafficking, arguing that his conviction should be reversed because the State’s evidence was obtained through an illegal search. The appellate court disagreed and affirmed, finding that the search of defendant was a valid search pursuant to the terms of the defendant’s mandatory supervised release agreement and that the State’s failure to enter the MSR  agreement into evidence was not fatal to its argument where the uncontested testimony established that defendant was on MSR at the time of the search.
