(dissenting).. I think this case is controlled by the principles of law enunciated recently in Jones v. District of Columbia, D.C.Mun.App., 158 A.2d 771. The record conclusively shows that if it had not been for appellant’s past criminal background, he would not have been followed, questioned and arrested. I think the arrest was invalid and therefore the motion to suppress should have been granted.
