STATE v. CRAMPTON


568 P.2d 680 (1977)

30 Or.App. 779

STATE of Oregon, Appellant, v. Norman Bradley CRAMPTON, Respondent-Cross-Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Oregon.

Decided August 29, 1977.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Al J. Laue, Asst. Atty. Gen., Salem, argued the cause for appellant. With him on the brief were James A. Redden, Atty. Gen., and W. Michael Gillette, Sol. Gen., Salem.

Gregory P. Lynch, Portland, argued the cause and filed the briefs for respondent-cross-appellant.

Before SCHWAB, C.J., and THORNTON and LEE, JJ.


THORNTON, Judge.

This appeal involves the construction of our statutes dealing with the forfeiture of a motor vehicle allegedly used in committing a narcotics offense. The single issue presented is whether a defendant whose vehicle was seized by police following his arrest for an alleged narcotics offense may thereafter give a lien on the vehicle in favor of another, which lien takes precedence over the state's forfeiture proceedings under ORS 167.247.
