Description
John Mark Evans was charged with selling hashish, a controlled substance, in violation of Section 195.020 RSMo 1978. Upon a jury verdict of guilty, the trial court sentenced Evans to five years imprisonment, suspended execution of the sentence, and placed Evans under probation supervision for five years. Evans appeals his conviction. In January 1979, Clifford Collier of the Missouri State Highway Patrol was engaged in undercover investigation of drug activities in Crawford County. Through his work Collier became acquainted with a Crawford County resident, Cletus ""Junior"" Keller, who frequented a bowling alley in nearby Sullivan in Franklin County. On one occasion they were leaving the bowling alley with a third man when appellant approached them with an offer to sell hashish. After Collier asked about the price and quality, appellant suggested that they look at it. The four of them crossed the street to a parking lot and got into a pickup truck. Some time later, they stepped out of the truck and Collier gave appellant six dollars. Appellant then gave Collier a small aluminum foil packet, the group separated, and Collier left Sullivan for the night. A warrant for appellant's arrest was issued approximately seven months later, after Collier had completed his undercover investigation in the area.
