Before GUIDRY, FORET and CULPEPPER, JJ.


GUIDRY, Judge.

The defendant, Winfred Burge, was charged with simple arson, a violation of LSA-R.S. 14:52. The defendant filed a motion to suppress evidence seized as a result of the investigation of the fire. After a hearing, the trial court granted the motion, suppressing the evidence. The State applied for a writ of certiorari to review the trial court's ruling on the motion. We granted the writ to consider whether the evidence was properly suppressed.
