Tibbs not to allow D. Judge the evidence obtained in a roadblock as evidence against two Salina men, Trent and Troy Taylor, both 23, who were arrested in an April 11, 1988 roadblock at Sevier Junction and U.S. 89 and U-Officers say the roadblock was initially set up because of a report of homicide in the Ceda' City area. The report later proved to be a false alarm. However officers say thto continue the roadbldecided ey ock on the order of Sheriff John 4. Mcacham. Shortly thereafter, the Taylors approached the roadblock. SgL Bill Brewer said he noticed a white powder on the seats and suspected that it might be cocaine. He said he also noted what he thought to be marijuana residue in an ashtray in the front seat. A vitamin bottle in the front seat was also found to contain what Brewer believed to be cocaine. The Taylors were arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance (cocaine) with intent to distribute, which is a second degree felony; and possession of controlled substance (prescription drugs), which is a class B misdemeanor. Trent Tay lor is also charged with use of a controlled substance (cocaine) which is a third degree felony. Attorney Taylor says the U.S. Supreme court ruled that roadblocks are legal under the following minimum criteria: That the checkpoint is visible and safe; that there are adequate signs to alert drivers; that uniformed officers and marked cars are used; that the roadblocks are held at a predetermined time and place, and that the procedures follow a carefully set criteria. However neither the Utah Supreme Court or Utah Court of Appeals has ever ruled on the legality of roadblocks, Taylor noted. Attorney Taylor says that by the criteria established by the courts, the officers had no right to stop the two Taylor men, as the reason for the roadblock had been to look for a homicide suspect. Sevier County Attorney Don R. Brown said the roadblock was safely run according to department policy, and there had been no discrimination as every car had been stopped. Rather than hear detailed arguments, Judge Tibbs ordered Attorney Taylor to submit a memorandum within 20 days detailing case law and for Brown to respond within ten days thereafter. Tibbs said he will make his decision on September 14, 1988. - WARNS SEVIER COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT Be on the lookout for counterfeit $20 dollar bills Counterfeit twenty dollar bills may be circulating in the area, according to Captain Bud Larsen, of the Sevier County Sheriffs Department.
