State v. Hickmann

Defendant was charged with the crime of Criminal Activity in Drugs, ORS 167.207. The trial court allowed defendant’s motion to suppress certain evidence seized in his tepee (his residence). The search was conducted without a warrant. The Court of Appeals, one judge dissenting, reversed and remanded to the trial court to make findings as to whether or not defendant “consented” to the police entering his home. State v. Hickmann, 21 Or App 303, 534 P2d 1153 (1975). We accepted review because the case presents a question of criminal appellate procedure.
