SINGLETON, Judge,
concurring.
I join in the court’s decision to reverse. Because of the show of force preceding the *288initial seizure of Lowry, I cannot agree that Lowry consented to accompany the officers to the station house, obviating any need for Miranda warnings. See Dunaway v. New York, 442 U.S. 200, 206-16, 99 S.Ct. 2248, 2253-58, 60 L.Ed.2d 824, 832-38 (1979). I would therefore hold that Low-ry’s statements to the police were obtained in violation of his rights, as recognized in Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966), and in the event of a retrial, must be suppressed. I agree with the other conclusions reached in the majority’s opinion concerning any new trial.
