State v. Estes

GAITAN, Judge.

Appellant, Bobby R. Estes, was charged and found guilty as a result of a trial by jury of the sale of diazepam, a controlled substance, in violation of § 195.240, RSMo 1986. He was fined $1,000. He appeals his conviction and the fine alleging the trial court erred as a matter of law by failing to sustain his objection to the drug investigation that led to his arrest because it was in violation of § 43.380, RSMo 1986 which mandates how the Missouri Highway Patrol may be called into a drug investigation. We affirm.

This appeal is based solely on the appellant’s motion to dismiss…
