Farnsworth v. State

For the reasons outlined in Barrera v. State, 403 P.3d 105 (Wyo. 2017) and those set forth in this opinion, the Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s felony conviction for taking a controlled substance into a jail. The court held (1) the district court did not err in concluding that Defendant’s violated Wyo. Stat. Ann. 6-5-208 when he took a controlled substance into the county jail after being arrested; and (2) given the absence of citation to any pertinent authority, the court declined to reach the merits of Defendant’s argument that the district court and the State violated the Fifth Amendment prohibition against self-incrimination.
