726 A.2d 301 (1999)

319 N.J. Super. 632

STATE of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant/Cross-Respondent, v. Christy SANTIAGO, Defendant-Respondent/Cross-Appellant.

Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division.

Decided March 30, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Betsy Phillips, Assistant Prosecutor, for plaintiff-appellant/cross-respondent (Jeffrey S. Blitz, Atlantic County Prosecutor, attorney; James M. Ruberton, Assistant Prosecutor, of counsel and on the brief).

Jacqueline E. Turner, Assistant Deputy Public Defender, for defendant-respondent/cross-appellant (Ivelisse Torres, Public Defender, attorney; Ms. Turner, of counsel and on the brief).

Before Judges HAVEY, SKILLMAN and LESEMANN.


The opinion of the court was delivered by LESEMANN, J.S.C. (temporarily assigned).

This case comes before the court on an appeal by the State which contends that imposition of a probationary sentence on defendant was error because a custodial sentence was mandatory, and a cross-appeal by defendant, who claims that the trial court erred in denying her motion to suppress evidence seized from the trunk of the car she was driving when she was arrested.
