UNITED STATES, Appellant, v. Harold Roscoe JONES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided March 31, 1971.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

C. Madison Brewer, Asst. U. S. Atty., with whom Thomas A. Flannery, U. S. Atty., John A. Terry and Robert P. Watkins, Asst. U. S. Attys., were on the brief, for appellant.

Blaine P. Friedlander, Washington, D. C., with whom Mark P. Friedlander, Mark P. Friedlander, Jr., Harry P. Friedlander and Marshall H. Brooks, Washington, D. C., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before FICKLING, GALLAGHER and PAIR, Associate Judges.


PAIR, Associate Judge:

The Government has appealed from an order granting a pre-trial motion to suppress, as evidence, a pistol, seized from beneath the seat of appellee's automobile which was standing a short distance from the scene of his arrest for "disorderly conduct." D.C.Code 1967, § 22-1107. The transcript of the pre-trial hearing reflects an alarming degree of inconsistent testimony respecting police action under rather bizarre circumstances.
