Granted. The ruling of the Fourth Circuit is reversed, defendant's guilty plea and sentence are vacated, and he is ordered discharged. The police lacked specific and articulable facts justifying a forcible detention of the defendant upon reasonable suspicion that he had committed, was committing, or was about to commit, a crime.
