Heading: Does the indictment inform Tucker of the nature of the crimes with which he has been charged?

Text: ¶ 20. Tucker was arrested on October 18, when police found approximately 140 items of athletic apparel at his residence, only eight days after property estimated in excess of $100,000 was taken from Foot Gear. [5] His indictment charged that he had feloniously possessed the personal property of Haresh Khiantani d.b.a. Foot Gear, to-wit: athletic apparel[.] [6] We have said that an indictment that is in compliance with the rules and provides actual notice is sufficient to inform the defendant. [7] ¶ 21. The essential factsor those indispensably necessary [8] are that Anthony Tucker feloniously possessed the personal property of Haresh Khiantani d.b.a. Foot Gear in excess of $500 and that he knew or should have known that the same had been feloniously taken. This is all the State needed to prove. These elements were all present in the indictment. This is a plain, clear statement that Tucker is accused of possessing the merchandise stolen from Foot Gear. Further discussion is not merited.
