UNITED STATES V. CAIN
587 F.2d 678 (5th Cir. 1979)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction of interstate transportation of
a stolen vehicle.
FACTS: D and a companion escaped from federal prison. The following morning, a pickup
truck was reported missing from a residence about one mile from the prison. About the same
time a state trooper received reports from a CB'er about two white shirtless males walking
from the place where the truck had been abandoned attempting to hitch a ride east. At first,
the trooper had thought that the men were simply out of gas but after it was reported that
they had passed a number of gas stations the trooper called for assistance in order to have
the parties questioned. At that moment, a deputy sheriff was watching the two men. The
deputy took the two men to the station where the truck had been towed. The men refused to
answer any questions regarding their identity and were then transported to the parish jail.
It was eventually found out that the truck was stolen and the two were escaped from jail in
Texas. D were convicted and appealed.
