Description
Forest John Wanner appeals from a jury conviction of third degree assault, § 565.070 RSMo 1986, and resisting arrest,
§ 575.150 RSMo 1986. The trial court, having found him to be a persistent offender, § 558.016 RSMo 1986,
sentenced him to one year imprisonment and to six months imprisonment, respectively. Appellant was fined $1,000 for each offense.
We affirm in part and reverse in part. The state's evidence showed that on August 20, 1986, Officer Keeler was on duty and parked in his patrol car near the intersection
of Geyer and Essex in Kirkwood, Missouri. At approximately 1:30 a.m., he heard a loud motorcycle engine accelerating. Upon
spotting the motorcycle, he immediately turned on his spotlight and his red lights in an attempt to stop the vehicle. The
appellant stopped at a stoplight, ignored Officer Keeler, then continued at a regular pace across the intersection. The appellant
finally brought his motorcycle to a halt in front of an alley. Officer Keeler exited his car and approached the appellant;
however, the appellant put his motorcycle in gear and drove approximately 75 feet. Officer Keeler again entered his car, followed
the appellant, and attempted to roll down the window on his right side to tell him to pull over and stop. The appellant then
pulled away and accelerated traveling at an estimated average speed of 80 miles per hour.
