Description
The record reflects the following sequence of events leading to Moras arrest and conviction. Two police officers received a tip from an informant that Fred Vigil was driving a car containing stolen clothing. The informant stated that he had observed Vigil selling some of the clothing and that Vigil was taking the clothing "to 32nd and Tejon to be disposed of." Upon driving to that location, the officers observed Vigil sitting behind the wheel of his car. The car was parked at the curb near a liquor store. Moments later, Mora came out of the liquor store and got in Vigils car, and Vigil and Mora drove off. A few blocks away, the officers stopped Vigils car and observed, through an opening in the trunk, the clothes which the informant described. Both men were immediately arrested for investigation of burglary and receiving stolen goods. Thereafter, Vigil and Mora were taken to police headquarters. Upon arriving at police headquarters, Mora allegedly threw a matchbook containing a partially smoked marijuana cigarette onto the parking lot pavement. The marijuana cigarette provided the basis for Moras conviction for possession of a narcotic drug.
