State of Idaho v. Allen Paul Troup

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with possession of a controlled substance (drugs).

In February 2023, around 11:45 p.m., Officer Boyle observed a vehicle registered to
Troup’s wife Sarah, pull into a driveway next to Troup’s house, about fifty feet away from the street. Sarah had an outstanding warrant for her arrest. Officer Boyle parked his patrol car outside Troup’s home and called for reinforcements. When Troup exited the vehicle from the driver’s eat, Officer Boyle asked Troup if he could speak with him; Troup agreed and waved the officer towards him. Officer Boyle walked onto the driveway and asked Troup if he knew where Sarah was, and Troup told Officer Boyle that Sarah was in Spokane, Washington. Troup also told Officer
Boyle that he and Sarah knew that Sarah had an outstanding warrant for her arrest.

The district court held a joint sentencing hearing. The district court sentenced Troup to concurrent, unified terms of seven years with three years determinate for possession of a controlled substance in both cases, with credit for time served for misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia. Troup filed I.C.R. 35(b) motions for a reduction in his sentence in each case. The district court denied the motions.
