Indiana Court of Appeals
State of Indiana v. Tyson Timbs and a 2012 Land Rover LR2
27A04-1511-MI-1976
Miscellaneous/civil forfeiture. Majority affirms trial court ruling that the forfeiture of Tyson Timbs’ 2012 Land Rover was a constitutionally excessive fine when the state sought to seize the vehicle after he was charged with two counts of Class B felony dealing in a controlled substance and one count of Class D felony conspiracy to commit theft. Dissenting Judge Michael Barnes would reverse the trial court and grant the State’s forfeiture request.
