Description

Appeal from jury conviction of unlawfully distributing a controlled substance, cocaine, within one thousand feet of a public
school, for which Defendant was sentenced as a prior and persistent offender to thirty years' imprisonment. Defendant also
appeals from the subsequent denial of his Rule 29.15 motion. Affirmed. On October 11, 1989, Police Officer Rodney Brunson was operating undercover as part of the Street Corner Apprehension Team
(SCAT). He received information about suspected narcotics dealers operating from a vacant house across from Ford Middle School.
Brunson arrived in the area wearing a Kel transmitter in order to allow a surveillance team to record his conversations. As
he approached the vacant house, Officer Brunson heard a male call to him through a hole in a piece of plywood which covered
a window of the vacant house. Defendant asked Officer Brunson if he was "looking," a term commonly used to inquire whether
a person is interested in purchasing narcotics. Brunson responded affirmatively and walked into the yard of the residence,
looking up to speak to Defendant in the window. Brunson asked for a "fifteen cent piece," an amount of crack cocaine worth
$15. Defendant indicated he had no fifteen cent pieces.
