Kent Wills appeals his conviction for second-degree burglary contending
that an attached garage is a separate occupied structure from that of the living quarters of the residence.
...
Around 1 a.m., an Ankeny resident called the local police to report that
a car alarm sounded in the resident's neighborhood. β The city dispatched
a police officer to the location. β Observing nothing unusual, the
officer left the area, only to be stopped a couple of blocks later by a person who informed the officer he had witnessed someone running from the area of the car alarm. β As the officer started driving back to the area
of the car alarm, he noticed a person walking on the sidewalk. β The officer asked the person, a minor, if he had noticed anybody running from
the area. β The minor answered that he had not. β While the officer and another officer were speaking to the minor, another resident of the neighborhood arrived in her car and informed the officers that she had observed two people, one of whom was heavy set with a blinking light on
his back pocket, walking in the area of her neighbor's residence. β She observed the heavier-set individual, later identified as Wills, enter her neighbor's attached garage through an unlocked service door. β She
further observed a smaller individual standing by a van parked in the neighbor's driveway.
The officers eventually let the minor leave even though they found a
large amount of coins, a flashlight, and an electronic pocket organizer
in his pockets. β After releasing the minor, the police officers drove to the residence where the neighbor observed the two suspicious people and
woke the owner. β The owner, his wife, and two daughters were in the residence sleeping at the time. β After a search of his vehicles, the
owner discovered change and an electronic pocket organizer were missing
from the vehicles. β The owner's daughter reported a diamond ring and
some change were missing from her vehicle. β The officers then contacted the minor's parents, who informed the officers the minor was with Wills.
β After the officers questioned the minor again, he admitted his involvement in the theft and implicated Wills in the burglary. β Although Wills denied involvement in the burglary, the officers arrested him.
The State filed a trial information charging Wills with second-degree burglary. β The State later amended the information to include two additional charges of burglary in the third degree and using a juvenile
to commit an indictable offense.
The jury returned a verdict finding Wills guilty of the crimes of
burglary in the second degree, burglary in the third degree, and using a juvenile to commit an indictable offense. β Wills appeals his conviction for second-degree burglary claiming ineffective assistance of counsel.
Tsk tsk tsk, Kenito!
