Description
Defendant Ellis has appealed his conviction of grand larceny on the ground that there was an impermissible search of the trunk of an automobile in his possession, followed by a later seizure of incriminating evidence which was in that trunk. Defendant alleges both the search and the seizure were unlawful and the evidence should have been excluded. We find no error and affirm. The evidence touching on the exclusionary issue is without dispute. At or about 1:25 a. m. on the morning of January 12, 1977, officers were dispatched to the scene of a suspected on-going theft. Upon arriving, they found a parked automobile with its trunk unlocked and slightly open (three to six inches). Seeing rolls of copper wire inside the trunk, they followed footprints in the snow to a substation of Kootenai Electric Cooperative. Along the path and inside the substation they found other coils of wire that had been moved, as well as a pair of boltcutters and a cut link of the chain that had secured the gate to the substation. Following the tracks further, the officers apprehended defendant/appellant Ellis and an accomplice several miles from the substation.
