Description
On April 9, 1966, the Ada County Sheriff's office received a call reporting an automobile accident on Highway 44, near the
Shady Acres Motel, about twelve miles west of Boise. Upon arrival at the scene of the accident, the officers found a 1954
Buick automobile resting in a canal and several packages of cigarettes and cigars floating in the water. The defendant, whom
witnesses identified as the driver of the car, had been taken to the Shady Acres Motel to dry his clothes. The defendant was
arrested at the motel by a deputy sheriff and by such officer charged with drunken driving. The 1954 Buick, which the evidence revealed was not registered to the defendant, was towed from the canal and impounded,
and officers spent part of the day retrieving the cigarettes and cigars which were found floating downstream from the car.
In all, 792 packages of cigarettes and 18 five-packs of cigars were recovered from the canal. A subsequent search of the 1954
Buick, pursuant to issuance of a search warrant, produced several more five-packs of cigars.
