Content: Felonies may take several years or be held indefinitely. Once evidence is no longer needed it may be returned to the lawful owner, destroyed or auctioned for sale with the proceeds going to the state literary fund or some similar vehicle prescribed by statute. Evidence used at a trial in court faces a similar option of return to the owner, destruction, or submitted for sale (surplus auction). As an example, a stolen firearm recovered from a burglary suspect may be returned to the lawful owner either by the law enforcement agency or the court as appropriate. Another example might be seized drugs which would likely be destroyed. The final example might be money recovered from a burglary suspect along with other stolen property. The money is known to have been stolen but the true owner cannot be identified, therefore the agency deposits the money and its proceeds are sent to the state as prescribed by law. If the property was jewelry or collector’s coins, or other property, it may be auctioned and the proceeds sent to the state according to the law. Sponsored by Local Solar Power Programs
