State v. 1984 Monte Carlo SS

LARSON, Justice.

This appeal involves four motor vehicles forfeited as the result of a drug offense by Randy Stephenson. We affirm in part and reverse in part.

Stephenson was arrested for selling cocaine to an informant, and officers seized four motor vehicles found at his residence. The district court entered orders forfeiting all four motor vehicles. Stephenson and other family members have appealed, claiming various ownership interests in the vehicles.

The four motor vehicles included a 1984 Monte Carlo SS, a stock car, a Harley Davidson motorcycle, and a Toyota pickup.
