A african american man, who was 5' 11" and weighed 200 pounds, and a latino man, who was 5' tall and weighed 100 pounds, are walking through a white affluent neighborhood in Chevy Chase, Maryland at midnight when the police approach them and ask for identification which was provided. The men were carrying bags with various household items in them along with clothing. The police continue to detain the men to investigate whether the men had been up to no good. The neighborhood had experienced a number of burglaries about one month ago. The home owners had given descriptions for the suspects describing them as medium height and weight, possibly spanish or caucasian. Neither of the men have any outstanding warrants, but both have criminal records for prior burglaries and robberies. The police thereafter continue holding them and proceed to pat them down. Each man had knives on them as well.
