Description

Defendant, James Davis, Jr., appeals from his conviction, pursuant to a jury verdict, of possession of a Schedule II controlled
substance, Section 195.020, RSMo (1986), for which he was sentenced to a term of three years' imprisonment. We affirm. Defendant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence
established that acting on an informant's tip, two police officers conducted a surveillance of a certain area from a parked,
unmarked police vehicle. They observed defendant and a companion standing next to an automobile. During the surveillance,
several people approached defendant and his companion and exchanged some items with them. After about one hour, the officers
pulled their police car next to the automobile by which defendant was standing. As one of the officers got out of the police
vehicle, he saw defendant toss an object into the car near him. When the officer looked into the car, he saw a clear plastic
bag containing a white substance on the floorboard. The bag was seized and subsequent analysis of the substance contained
therein revealed that it was cocaine.
