Costella William Tobias v. United States de District of Columbia Court of Appeals. Resumen del Libro

NEBEKER, Associate Judge: Appellant appeals from his conviction on a charge of possession of a dangerous drug. D.C. Code 1973,
§ 33-702. His sole contention is that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress the drug found on
his person at the time of his arrest. We find this contention to be without merit, and affirm the judgment of conviction. On June 19, 1975, two officers of the Metropolitan Police Department were parked in the 100 block of 15th Street, S.E. These
two officers, both of whom had extensive experience in narcotics law enforcement, were assigned to this area because of its
high level of narcotics traffic. They observed appellant walking down the sidewalk carrying a shoulder bag. Appellant reached
into the bag, pulled out a small object, and approached another person. He then passed the small object to this person and
received an undetermined amount of currency in return. He proceeded down the street and approached a second person to whom
he also gave a small object from the shoulder bag and received from him an unspecified amount of currency. Appellant walked
to the end of the block as the two officers followed him in their car. He took another small object from his shoulder bag
as he neared a group of men standing on the corner. One of the men in the group, in a voice loud enough to be heard by one
of the officers, warned appellant that the police were behind him. Appellant looked back at the officers, placed the small
object in his shoulder bag, and started across the street. One of the officers identified himself as a police officer and
appellant increased his pace from that of a fast walk to that of a run. The officer overtook him and placed him under arrest.
A search of the shoulder bag revealed a number of pills containing phenmetrazine.
