Oregon Judicial Department Appellate Court Opinions
FILED: April 3, 2003
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF OREGON STATE OF OREGON, Respondent,
v.
AMY LYNN BECKER,
Appellant.

CF980635; A113110 Appeal from Circuit Court, Umatilla County. Ronald J. Pahl, Judge. Submitted on record and briefs February 7, 2003. David E. Groom, Acting Executive Director, Office of Public Defense Services, and Susan F. Drake, Deputy Public
Defender, filed the brief for appellant.
Hardy Myers, Attorney General, Mary H. Williams, Solicitor General, and Janet A. Metcalf, Assistant Attorney General, filed the brief for respondent. Before Haselton, Presiding Judge, and Linder and Wollheim, Judges. PER CURIAM Conviction for supplying contraband reversed and remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed. PER CURIAM Defendant was convicted, after a trial to the court, of possession of a controlled substance, ORS 475.992(4), and
supplying contraband, ORS 162.185. On appeal, she challenges only her supplying contraband conviction. The state concedes that this case is factually indistinguishable from State v. Tippetts, 180 Or App 350, 43 P3d 455 (2002), in which we held that a person's mere possession of an item when the person is arrested and booked into jail does not establish that the person committed a "voluntary act" of introducing the contraband into the jail. We find the state's concession to be well founded.
Conviction for supplying contraband reversed and remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
