Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / May 3, 2022
State of Missouri vs. Thomas Steve Higgs
Thomas Steve Higgs appealed his conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm, arguing the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence. Higgs contended that the arresting officer engaged in racial profiling, lacked reasonable suspicion for a Terry stop, conducted a non-consensual seizure from the outset, and failed to provide Miranda warnings before custodial interrogation. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no error in the denial of the motion to suppress.
