Description
Plaintiff-appellant State of Hawai'i (the prosecution) appeals from a pretrial court order suppressing contraband seized by police officers while searching a bedroom allegedly belonging to defendant-appellee William David Anderson, Jr., (Anderson). Based on the seized contraband, the prosecution charged Anderson with promoting a dangerous drug in the third degree in violation of Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS) § 712-1243(1) (1993),*fn1 prohibited acts related to drug paraphernalia in violation of HRS § 329-43.5(a) (1993),*fn2 felon in possession of a firearm in violation of HRS § 134-7(b) (1993),*fn3 and felon in possession of ammunition in violation of 134-7(b). The prosecution contends that the circuit court erred by concluding, among other things, that the police officers' warrant to search the dwelling did not authorize the search of Anderson's alleged bedroom. For the reasons stated below, we agree with the prosecution, and, thus, we vacate the circuit court's order and remand to the circuit court for further proceedings.
