David W. Jacobson v. State Alaska

David W. Jacobson was convicted of theft in the second degree, burglary in the second degree, escape in the second degree, and misconduct involving a weapon in the first degree. Superior Court Judge Rodger W. Pegues sentenced Jacobson to an aggregate term of seven years. Jacobson appeals, contending that the superior court erred in failing to suppress evidence that resulted from an unlawful search and seizure, in failing to dismiss the charges of escape and misconduct involving weapons, in denying his motion for a mistrial, and in admitting evidence of prior misconduct. Jacobson also challenges his sentence as excessive. We affirm the convictions for theft and burglary, reverse the conviction for misconduct involving a weapon, and remand for additional findings on the escape charge.
