192 N.W.2d 185 (1971) STATE of Minnesota, Respondent, v. Shirley L. DUGGAN, Appellant. No. 42889. Supreme Court of Minnesota. November 19, 1971. Lais, Jacobowski & Bannigan, St. Paul, for appellant. Warren Spannaus, Atty. Gen., William B. Randall, County Atty., Daniel A. Klas, City Atty., Pierre N. Regnier and Daniel L. Ficker, Asst. City Attys., St. Paul, for respondent. Heard before KNUTSON, C.J., and MURPHY, OTIS, ROGOSHESKE, and HACHEY, JJ. MURPHY, Justice. Defendant appeals from a judgment of conviction of violation of St. Paul Legislative Code, § 470.03, which provides: *186 Because the state has failed in its proof to establish the essential element of intent to commit the offense, we reverse. We said in State v. Armstrong, 282 Minn. 39, 42, 162 N.W.2d 357, 360 (1968): There is no evidence in the record of prior offenses, prior unlawful conduct on the part of defendant, nor of reputation or actual solicitation which would support the conviction. From an examination of the record, it appears that the conviction rests largely upon the suspicion of the arresting officer. Reversed.
