Description

NEWMAN, Chief Judge: Appellants Punch, Jackson, Alston and Coffield were jointly indicted, each charged with one count of
carrying a pistol without a license and one count of possession of marijuana. Tried jointly by a jury, all were convicted
of the weapons offenses but only Jackson was convicted of possession of marijuana. On appeal, each appellant raises search
and seizure and evidentiary issues. Jackson challenges the trial court's refusal to accept his plea of guilty to the marijuana
charge. Punch, Jackson and Alston challenge the sufficiency of the indictment to allege an "infamous crime." Finding no reversible
error, we affirm. On February 14, 1975, near midnight, Officer Swigert of the Metropolitan Police Department was on patrol in a marked police
cruiser at the corner of Ninth and S Streets, N.W. It was dark, the street lights were on, as were the headlights of Swigert's
police cruiser. Swigert observed an automobile, its headlights off, pass him and stop at a red light. As the vehicle stopped,
the Officer observed that there were four persons in the car 1 and that the front seat passenger reached forward or leaned
down and then sat upright.
