§ 155.45 Larceny; pleading and proof.
1. Where it is an element of the crime charged that property was
taken from the person or obtained by extortion, an indictment for
larceny must so specify. In all other cases, an indictment, information
or complaint for larceny is sufficient if it alleges that the defendant
stole property of the nature or value required for the commission of the
crime charged without designating the particular way or manner in which
such property was stolen or the particular theory of larceny involved.
2. Proof that the defendant engaged in any conduct constituting
larceny as defined in section 155.05 is sufficient to support any
indictment, information or complaint for larceny other than one charging
larceny by extortion. An indictment charging larceny by extortion must
be supported by proof establishing larceny by extortion.
