Heading: Kenneth Fields

Text: Finally, still on November 3, appellant and Carter arrived in Williams' car at another 7-Eleven near the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Sheriff Road, N.E. They watched Kenneth Fields withdraw money from an automatic teller machine inside the store. When Fields left the store, Carter put a gun in his back and ordered him to his car. Abandoning Williams' car, the pair got in with Fields and made him drive several blocks to another place in the District, where appellant took Fields' wallet containing his money and the ATM card he had just used. The pair decided to return to the 7-Eleven at Sheriff Road and Eastern Avenue where they knew there was a machine that would accept Fields' card. Fields was placed in the passenger seat and appellant drove. When they arrived at the 7-Eleven, neither appellant nor Carter could find the ATM card, resulting in an argument. Fields shrewdly suggested the card was somewhere in the back of the car, and when appellant began helping Carter search in the rear seat, Fields fled and ran into the 7-Eleven, where he called the police. Appellant and Carter left in Fields' car, but later that day appellant was photographed by a bank surveillance camera using Fields' ATM card in an attempted withdrawal. In the photograph he was wearing a pair of EK sunglasses, which he admitted at trial were the glasses he had gotten from Andre Williams. Fields' car was ultimately found abandoned on 61st Street in the District. Fields identified appellant as one of the men who had robbed and kidnapped him, and the silver .25 caliber pistol taken from Carter on November 4 as the gun used by his assailants. For these actions, the jury convicted appellant of kidnapping while armed and armed robbery.
