6 GREELEY TRIBUNE Jane 24,1917 Court says Weld jaii search was justified Weld county jail personnel sheriffs officers street clothes of an icsmate after they were informed the immate had drags hidden in his jeacs when he was arrested, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled Thursday. making the ruling, a three- judge pane! of the court upheld the conviction in District Court here of Vera Hudson on a charge of attempting to dispense a dangerous drug. Hudson, 23, formerly of 1, Windsor, was found guilty of the charge by a jury Feb. He was sentenced to the state penitentiary for a term of five to 12 years by Judge Hugh H. Arnold March 17,1376.

Hudson appealed the conviction on the grounds that the search of his clothing at the jail and the confiscating of the drugs found in them had been illegal. He also contended 'Judge Arnold had erred in admitting testimony that indicated Hudson was a drug dealer known as "Whitehoree" and had been involved in other criminal activities. Another prisoner in the jail at the time, Donald Earl Wilson, 23, testified at Hudson's trial that the defendant had told him that he had some "crystals" hidden in his jeans when he was arrested, and also that he was known as "Whitehorse," a code name of a drug dealer. Wilson said Hudson offered to split the drug with him and to help him when the two got out of jail if he would get the drug out of the jeans, which Hudson had left in a paper sack when he changed from his street clothes to jail coveralls after his arrest However, Wilson told hat Hudson 333 resulted in a check of the defendant's clothing by officers. A sheriff's officer testified they found a package containing methamphetamine or crystals in a slit in the waistband of the jeans.

its ruling, according to wire reports, the appeals court said, "We hold that the search in this case resulted in no infringement of defendant's constitutional rights. "Having been validly arrested and incarcerated, defendant was therefore subject to those reasonable searches necessary to the safe and effective administration of the detention facility. "There was no evidence here that the search was conducted for the purpose of harassing or humiliating defendant or in a cruel and unusual manner. N'or do we perceive a material distinction between the search of an immate's cell and, as here, the search of an immate's effects located in an area to which he has possible access." In rejecting Hudson's arguments the trial court erred in permitting the testimony about the defendant being known as "Whitehorse," the appeals court said, testimony comprised an integral part of defendant 1 attempt to procure and dispense a dangerous drug and, as such, was admissible into evidence to establish the chain of events leading to commission of the offense and to establish defendant's intent or scheme. -The weather- Barometer Honolulu widely scattered showers.

The patrol is now allowing officers to wear short-sleeved shirts without ties during the summer months, but the new casual attire doesn't mean a offenders.

The defendant was apprehended when he was arrested for public drunkenness in California. Lopez pleaded guilty Jan. 10 to the sexual assault charge in which he was accused of subjecting a girl under the age of 15 to sexual contact between November, 1974, and February, 1976. In granting probation at that time, Judge Hays ordered the defendant to continue an educational program he was involved in until completing it and to continue his participation in alcoholic treatment and counseling programs.
