1Opinion of the Court
HANNA, Presiding Judge.
The defendant, Randy Curtis, was convicted by a jury of possession of a controlled substance, § 195.202, RSMo 1994, and was sentenced as a prior offender to five years imprisonment. The defendant appeals his conviction and the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion. The dispositive issue is whether the police had reasonable suspicion to make a Terry stop.1 Because we hold that the police had reasonable suspicion to stop the defendant, the Rule 29.15 issue as to whether trial counsel objected to the seizure of the illegal drugs when offered into evidence, is moot.
