    "head_matter": "STATE v. GEORGE WILLARD ANDREWS.\n(Filed 25 May, 1966.)\nAppeal by defendant from Bickett, J., September, 1965 Criminal Session, Durham Superior Court.\nThe defendant was arrested on a warrant issued by and returnable to the Recorder\u2019s Court of Durham County, charging that defendant, George Willard Andrews, on July 22, 1965, did unlawfully and feloniously steal one 23-jewel Gruen wristwatch of the value of $110.00, the property of Clarence E. Maynard. From a verdict of guilty, a prison sentence of two years was imposed, from which defendant appealed to the Superior Court of Durham County.\nIn the Superior Court the defendant, through his attorney, Michael C. Troy, tendered a plea of nolo contendere which the State accepted. The court heard evidence from the State and from the defendant. Clarence E. Maynard testified that he and some of his friends were in a neighbor\u2019s home, drinking, when the defendant entered, snatched the Gruen wristwatch from the witness\u2019s arm, broke the band, and put the watch in his pocket. The defendant testified that he had been drinking and fighting prior to his arrest and that he did not remember any of the events testified to by the State\u2019s witnesses. On cross-examination, he admitted he had been convicted in a number of criminal cases: driving drunk, selling liquor, carrying a concealed weapon; that he did not remember whether he had been convicted in 1964 for assault with a deadly weapon; \u201cthat that sort of thing was an unpleasant memory that he didn\u2019t like to think about.\u201d\nThe court imposed a sentence of 18-24 months. By order of the court, Michael C. Troy was permitted to withdraw as counsel and Rudolph L. Edwards was appointed to prosecute this appeal.\nT. W. Bruton, Attorney General; Theodore C. Brown, Jr., Staff Attorney for the State.\nRudolph L. Edwards for defendant appellant."
