People v. Johnson

The People appeal from a district court order dismissing a felony theft charge brought against the defendant. The court's dismissal of the charge was based on the People's failure to bring the defendant to trial within the limitation period outlined in the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (IAD), § 24-60- 501, C.R.S. (1988 Repl. Vol. 10B). We reverse the order of dismissal and remand the cause for reinstatement of the felony theft charge. I.
