Hogan v. State

Nevada Supreme Court

Decided June 27, 1975

Nevada Supreme Court · decided 1975-06-27

Applies NV 205 § 205.220

Decided 1975-06-27

¶1OPINION

Per Curiam:

¶2Convicted of grand larceny (NRS 205.220), appellants contend the evidence against them was insufficient.

¶3The manager of Samons, Inc.’s store in Las Vegas testified he placed a boxed air conditioner, which he identified by serial number, in a shed within a fenced compound at the rear of Samons’ store. He saw it there only hours before the offense concerned herein.

¶4Sheriff’s Lieutenant Charleboix, a patron of the store, apprehended appellants upon seeing them carrying the air conditioner from the compound to their car. As Charleboix confronted them, they apparently recognized him, saying such things as: “Come on, Charlie. Give us a break. We will put it back.”

¶5Contrary to appellants’ contentions, we think the evidence *421adequately supported a finding of felonious asportation, and justified the jury in rejecting appellants’ assertions that they found the air conditioner outside the fence and believed it was abandoned.
