She argued the trial court erred in denying her motion to suppress the evidence and that the evidence was insufficient for the paraphernalia charge. The appellate court affirmed the denial of the motion to suppress, finding the officer had reasonable suspicion to extend the stop. However, the court vacated the drug paraphernalia conviction, concluding there was insufficient evidence to prove Coots intended to use the straw to inhale methamphetamine.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","search-and-seizure","evidence","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=230034","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-lisa-marie-coots-d87420","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","topic: search-and-seizure","text: state of missouri","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":"respondent"}]}
