MR. CHIEF JUSTICE HASWELL
dissenting.
I would grant the petition to the extent of vacating petitioner’s guilty plea as involuntary and remand the case to the District Court for further proceedings. I would not dismiss the charge on double jeopardy grounds.
In my view, the record before us does not support the conclusion *360that petitioner’s conviction of disturbing the peace was based on the same occurrence or incident involved in the assault charge. The two charges could well have been based on separate and independent incidents in which case the bar of double jeopardy would not apply. I would leave this factual determination to the District Court on remand.
