Description
CONNOR, Justice. OPINION. Appellant Tim Michael Cruse appeals from the judgment and commitment of the superior court finding him guilty of robbery. 1 The issue presented by this appeal is whether the trial court erred in denying appellant's motion to suppress evidence seized, pursuant to a warrant, from his automobile trunk - when the trunk had previously been searched without a warrant. On September 30, 1976, Stephan Pittman, field man at the Sundowner Drive-in Theater in Anchorage, had an altercation with three young men in a white car who were disturbing other patrons. Pittman got his supervisor's permission to eject the troublemakers, but then noticed that the car was already leaving the theater. He watched it stop briefly at the theater gate and then depart. Pittman spent the next 1-1/2 to 2 minutes at the theater's concession stand, and upon leaving the area, was approached by the theater cashier, Randall Peck. Peck said that he had just been robbed. Pittman described the white car and its occupants, and Peck agreed that the description fit his assailants.
