Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Aug 6, 2019
State of Missouri vs. Dennis W. Delapp, II
Dennis Delapp appealed his convictions for drug and firearm offenses, arguing the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence found during a warrantless vehicle search. The search was conducted after a confidential informant provided information and a drug dog alerted to the vehicle. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding that the search was justified under the automobile exception and supported by probable cause from both the informant's information and the drug dog's alert.
