About fifteen to twenty minutes later, police arrived at Brown's apartment. Brown described the incident to the officers, stating that the entire incident lasted about thirty seconds. Brown provided no other information. Based only on that description, the police left to search the area. About ten to twenty minutes later, the police returned and asked Brown to identify a woman, defendant.
Defendant is African-American, with black curly hair, and is five feet two inches tall.
Police presented defendant to Brown for identification a few feet outside of Brown's apartment. Defendant was the only woman presented for identification. She was handcuffed, surrounded by police, placed next to a patrol car, and her face illuminated by a flashlight. Brown, who is Caucasian, identified defendant as the woman by the dumpster. I didn't do anything.
