  • defendant’s proximity in time and place to crime and his general similarity to description of suspect sufficient to form reasonable and articulable suspicion necessary to justify investigatory detention
  • while description of black male wearing dungaree clothing might be too general in other contexts, at 3 a.m. close to scene of two recent burglaries, description sufficiently distinctive to give rise to reasonable and articulable suspicion that defendant had engaged in criminal activity
