Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Patricia A. Madrid, Attorney General, James O. Bell, Assistant Attorney General, Santa Fe, NM, for Appellant.

OPINION

ALARID, Judge.

{1} The State appeals from a trial court order suppressing cocaine and drug paraphernalia seized from Defendant's automobile without a search warrant. We hold that the State has failed to establish exigent circumstances justifying the warrantless seizure of evidence from inside Defendant's automobile. We therefore affirm the trial court's suppression order.
