TOPEKA—The Kansas Supreme Court announced today a change to the docket for its special session Monday at Manhattan High School.

The new case to be heard is:

Appeal No. 119,458: State of Kansas v. Julia Colleen Evans

Dickinson County: (Interlocutory Appeal) Evans was charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Prior to trial, Evans filed a motion to suppress the State’s evidence. The evidence was obtained from Evans’ car, which had been involved in a single-car accident. After Evans was taken by emergency medical services to the hospital, the officer at the scene removed her purse and wallet from the vehicle without a warrant or her consent. The officer then searched the wallet to find Evans’ driver’s license. While searching for her driver’s license, the officer discovered methamphetamine in a zippered-pocket of the wallet. Evans motioned to suppress the evidence, which the district court granted on the grounds that it did not fall under one of the exceptions necessary to justify a warrantless search. The State appealed, arguing the Dickinson County District Court erred in granting the motion to suppress. The issue on appeal is whether the trial court erred in granting Evans’ motion to suppress the evidence.
