Final Copy 286 Ga. 647 S09A1458. FRAZIER v. MATHIS. Hines, Justice. Warden David Frazier appeals from the grant of a writ of habeas corpus to Arlandus Mathis. For the reasons that follow, we reverse. Mathis also uses the name Arlandus Dickerson. On December 13, 1988, Mathis was indicted under the name of Dickerson on one charge of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Mathis was one of two passengers in a car which was stopped by police officers of the City of East Point, in Fulton County for a tag violation; the other passenger and the driver were co-indictees on the same charge. Eighteen bags containing cocaine were found under the driver's seat. On March 6, 1989, Mathis accepted a plea agreement, pled guilty to simple possession of cocaine, and was sentenced to four years probation as a First Offender.1 See OCGA
