Description
Douglas W. Greene, Judge After trial by court, Gregory Fosdick was found guilty of the misdemeanor offense of driving while his operator's license was revoked, in violation of § 302.321, 1 and was sentenced to three months' confinement in the county jail as punishment for the crime. Fosdick appeals, claiming the evidence was insufficient to sustain the conviction. The State did not choose to file a respondent's brief challenging such claim. Viewed in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence was that on February 13, 1988, while on patrol, Sergeant Doug Dickey of the Carthage, Missouri Police Department, noticed a pickup truck being driven in an erratic manner, veering back and forth across the center line. Dickey, who suspected the driver of the pickup was intoxicated, started to follow it. The pickup sped away, and eventually left the city limits of Carthage, and proceeded on into Jasper County, where it eventually stopped. The driver, who was Fosdick, fled on foot, but was eventually captured by Dickey and taken to the Carthage Police Department headquarters. After a police dispatcher ran a ""computer check,"" Dickey cited Fosdick for ""Driving While Revoked,"" which was followed by the filing of the charge in question.
