James Smith, a health inspector for the state of Missouri, inspected a restaurant owned by Salley Slick. Smith found numerous health violations in the restaurant and fined Slick accordingly. When Smith notified Slick of the infractions, Smith strongly suggested that $5,000 "would sure prove handy in the Spring" when he planned to purchase a new fishing boat. Slick understood Smith's obvious hint and offered Smith $5,000 if he would lose the paperwork concerning the failure of the restaurant to meet proper inspection guidelines. Smith accepted the $5,000 and lost the paperwork. One month later, Smith returned to the restaurant and told Slick that he would reappear every month and find violations unless Slick produced $1,000 each month to go toward the purchase of a fleet for Smith.
