STATE V. DELMARTER
618 P.2d 99 (Wash. 1980)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction for attempted theft.
FACTS: Delmarter (D) was found behind a prescription counter in a drug store, near a camouflaged cash drawer. The area was restricted to store employees and the drawer contained approximately $1,800. It was used by store employees to get change throughout the day. A pharmacist confronted D and a fight resulted with D fleeing the store with two companions. D was convicted of attempted theft in the first degree. That crime in Washington required an attempt to commit theft of property exceeding $1,500 in value. D appealed, contending he could not be convicted of attempted theft in the first degree; there was no evidence that he knew the box existed or that it contained over $1,500.
