_________________________________________________________________
JUSTICE APPLETON delivered the opinion of the court:
On December 26, 2006, defendant, Amanda J. Snyder, was convicted of
unlawful possession of cannabis with intent to deliver (720 ILCS 550/5(e) (West
2004)), unlawful possession of cannabis (720 ILCS 550/4(e) (West 2004)), and
unlawful calculated criminal cannabis conspiracy (720 ILCS 550/9(a) (West 2004)).
The trial court sentenced her to 36 months' probation and ordered her to pay various
fines, fees, and costs. Defendant appeals, alleging the court erred by denying her motion
to suppress evidence. She also challenges the court's award of only two days of credit
toward her fines, as she claims she was in pretrial custody for three days. We affirm.
