On appeal, Allen contended the trial court erred in failing to suppress drug evidence, arguing it was obtained in violation of his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, finding that officers had reasonable suspicion to initiate contact with Allen and a reasonable, particularized suspicion that he was armed, thus justifying the pat-down search and subsequent seizure of the contraband.","primaryTopic":"search-and-seizure","topicSlugs":["search-and-seizure","criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=125233","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-plaintiff-respondent-v-keon-terrell-allen-defendant-app-d34824","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","topic: search-and-seizure","text: state of missouri","text: search and seizure","text: conviction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
