Description
ZIMMERMAN, Justice: Defendant appeals his non-jury conviction for one count of possession of a forged writing and one count of possession of devices to make a forged writing, under U.C.A., 1953, § 76-6-502. At trial, the State introduced evidence that officers had found in a closed attache case taken from the trunk of the car defendant was driving. The sole issue on appeal is whether the trial court erred when it refused to suppress the evidence. We hold that it did not and affirm. In the early morning of October 25, 1981, police officers stopped defendant and a female companion when they noticed that defendant's car had no front license plate. Defendant produced a driver's license with his photograph on it, but with a false name. Defendant was arrested for giving false information to a police officer.
