Utah Supreme Court January 9, 1992, 910063 (In Re One Hundred Two Thousand Dollars in U.S. Currency)

HOWE, Associate Chief Justice:

This is an appeal from a judgment forfeiting to Emery County $100,900 in United States currency that the trial court found had been used in illegal drug transactions.

On April 1, 1989, on Interstate 70, an Emery County sheriff’s deputy stopped a westbound 1986 Ford van because it was spewing smoke.
