Description
Appellants first three grounds of error present various challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence. The record reflects that the States first witness was Officer Alfredo Bonilla, dispatcher for the El Paso Police Department. Officer Bonilla testified that at 1:22 a.m. on August 10, 1971, he received notice that a silent alarm had been activated at Caroles Liquor Store. This information was relayed to Officers Charles John Klimansky and Francisco Loya, whose patrol car was then located several blocks from the store. Arriving at the liquor store within a few minutes of the radio call, Officers Klimansky and Loya found appellant and the co-defendant John Lester, standing by appellants car, which was parked behind the liquor store. Investigation by the officers revealed a window at the front of the store had been broken and dust impressions about the size of half-gallon bottles of whiskey on a counter adjacent to the broken window. Shining his flashlight into appellants car, Officer Loya observed whiskey bottles partially protruding from beneath the rear seat. A tire tool and piston assembly were also found in the car. Appellant and the co-defendant related that they had stopped at the Seven-Eleven Store next to the liquor store when two unidentified men approached them and had given them $5.00 each to hold four half-gallons of whiskey for them until the next night; and that they agreed to do so and shortly thereafter had gone behind the liquor store to urinate.
