Description
A jury found Marcus Seaton Wilkerson guilty of possession of methamphetamine, a controlled substance, in violation of §
195.240, RSMo 1986. 1 Wilkerson (defendant) was also found guilty of the unlawful use of a weapon in violation of §
571.030.1(1). The defendant's punishment was assessed at imprisonment for a term of five years for possession of methamphetamine
and two years for the unlawful use of a weapon. It was ordered that defendant's sentences be served concurrently. Appeal No.
15771 is defendant's appeal from the judgments of conviction. The defendant timely filed a motion for post-conviction relief
pursuant to Rule 29.15, and after a hearing the motion court denied relief. Appeal No. 16320 is defendant's appeal from the
order denying relief on his post-conviction motion. The two appeals have been consolidated but will be considered separately. Appeal No. 15771 The offenses of which defendant was convicted were committed during the evening -- after dark -- on August
30, 1987. Undercover officers were working "buy-busts" at a Ramada Inn in Newton County. The officers purchased an ounce of
methamphetamine from one Anna O'Brien, and the circumstances of the sale led them to believe she had an accomplice nearby.
Additional officers were summoned. The defendant was found in a pickup truck parked near the Ramada Inn. He was ordered to
step out of the vehicle and he did so. One of the officers present conducted a "pat-down" search and discovered a large amount
of cash -- $3,500 -- on the defendant's person. The defendant was asked "where his gun was," and he replied, "it's just a
.22, and it's in the truck."
