1. “Appellant Hunter’s first issue on appeal is the admissibility of the gun into evidence. He does not contend that the search warrant was invalid, but that it specified certain items for which it authorized a search and seizure: a stolen television set and narcotics. Under La.C.Cr.P. art. 162, a judge may issue a search warrant upon probable cause and the warrant shall particularly describe the things to be seized. However, La.C.Cr.P. art. 165 provides that during the course of execution of a search warrant, a police officer may seize other things not described in the | swarrant which may constitute evidence proving the commission of any offense. The standard is whether the items tend to prove the commission of any offense. State v. Feeback, 414 So.2d 1229 (La.1982); State v. Brouillette, 465 So.2d 124 (La.App. 4 Cir.1985). Thus the admission of the gun into evidence was not error.”
