Jacob K. Sloan Missouri Cases

Jacob K. Sloan appealed his convictions for resisting arrest and assault, challenging the trial court's finding that he was a dangerous offender and the sufficiency of the evidence for his resisting-arrest conviction. Sloan argued the State failed to provide sufficient notice for the dangerous offender status and that his resistance occurred after the arrest was complete. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, concluding that the State provided proper notice for the dangerous offender status and that sufficient evidence supported the resisting-arrest conviction because Sloan was not fully under the officer's control when he resisted.
