Cade v. One 1987 Dodge Lancer Shelby 4-Door
Idaho Supreme Court
Decided May 20, 1994No. 20890Published
1Opinion of the Court
BISTLINE, Justice.
The question presented in this case is whether the defensé of entrapment is available in a civil forfeiture action brought pursuant to I.C. § 37-2744, the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. The defense of en*732trapment is available in many criminal charges, but has not been held to apply to civil proceedings. Thus, the Court is faced with an issue of first impression; we conclude that entrapment may apply to a civil proceeding. This issue was properly presented to the magistrate and the matter should therefore be remanded for his ruling whether Allen was entrapped.
