Description
Defendant (Appellant) was convicted of the crime of theft. The errors assigned on this appeal relate to the overruling of
the trial court of his motion to suppress certain evidence obtained from the person and vehicle of Defendant shortly after
his arrest. The arrest was made without benefit of a warrant. It is the contention of the defendant that there was no probable
cause for the arrest and no warrant to search the vehicle, which there was not, and that consequently the evidence sought
to be suppressed was inadmissible, having been obtained in violation of Article I, § 11 of the Constitution of Indiana
and the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The evidence in question consisted of a negotiable bank check, a purchase memorandum and a booklet of blank bank checks.
The first two items had been taken from the person of the defendant at the time he was searched and jailed. The last mentioned
item had been taken from its concealed position behind the back of the seat of the defendant's vehicle, which he was driving
at the time of his arrest. The only probative value of these items was to identify the defendant as the person who presented
himself to the sales barn manager on August 8th as Bob Miller and asked for and received payment for the Bob Miller hogs.
