Description

Appellant, Louis B. Moody, was convicted of possessing dextro amphetamine sulfate, a stimulant drug, under § 195.240,
RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S., by the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, and his punishment under the provisions of the Habitual
Criminal Act, § 556.280, RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S., was assessed at imprisonment in the custody of the State Department
of Corrections for a term of two years. Following rendition of judgment and imposition of sentence an appeal was perfected
to this Court. On February 19, 1968, appellant was driving a car alone at night in the Gaslight Square area in the City of St. Louis. Two
police officers followed appellant's car and observed that it was "zig-zagging, going over the dividing line." They stopped
the car and placed appellant under arrest "for failure to keep to the right." They searched appellant's person and seized
five hypodermic needles, one syringe, and a tinfoil packet containing a stimulant drug.
