Description
While Wesley Pinson was on probation for a felony, his probation officer conducted a warrantless search and found on his person evidence of commission of another crime. A district court revoked Pinson's probation. Pinson has appealed from the order revoking his probation, contending that the court erred in denying a motion to suppress the evidence discovered in the search. The general issue on appeal is whether the search of Pinson was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article I, § 17 of the Idaho Constitution. We conclude that it was and affirm the district court's order. The background of the case is that Pinson pled guilty in August, 1979, to attempted forgery and was sentenced to an indeterminate, five-year term in the custody of the State Board of Correction. The district court, however, retained jurisdiction over Pinson under I.C. § 19-2601. On May 27, 1980, the court suspended the balance of the sentence and placed Pinson on probation for two years. Pinson signed a probation agreement and was released from custody.
