                                   Assistant County Prosecutor

                                -2-
PER CURIAM:
     Appellant's assignment of  error is  overruled.  The  officers
had a reasonable suspicion appellant was involved in  drug activity
based  on   information  provided   by  a   confidential,  reliable
informant, and corroboration  of the informant's information.   See
Adams v. Williams  (1972), 407 U.S. 143, 92  S.Ct. 1921, 32 L.Ed.2d
612, Alabama v.  White (1990),  496 U.S. 325,  110 S.Ct. 2412,  110
L.Ed.2d 301.  The police were  justified in making an investigative
Terry stop.  Id., Terry v. Ohio  (1968), 392 U.S. 1, 88 S.Ct. 1868,
20 L.Ed.2d 889.
     The police had  a reasonable belief appellant  could be armed,
so  a pat  down search  was justified.    Terry, supra.   Detective
Charchenko could seize the lumps of  cocaine he felt in appellant's
pocket during  the  pat down  search,  because it  was  immediately
apparent through  Charchenko's sense of  touch that the  object was
cocaine.    Minnesota  v. Dickerson  (1993),  113  S.Ct. 2130,  124
L.Ed.2d  334.    Appellant's  fourth   amendment  rights  were  not
violated.
     Judgment affirmed. 
                                -3-
     It is  ordered that  appellee recover  of appellant its  costs
herein taxed.  
     The court finds there were reasonable grounds for this appeal.
     It  is ordered that a special mandate  issue out of this court
directing  the  Common Pleas  Court  to  carry  this judgment  into
execution.  The  defendant's conviction  having been affirmed,  any
bail pending  appeal is  terminated.   Case remanded  to the  trial
court for execution of sentence.    
     A certified  copy of this  entry shall constitute  the mandate
pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
