Harris v. Commonwealth

Robert D. Wiggins, a juvenile, and his friend, Randolph Green, were confronted on the street by three persons, one of whom Wiggins identified as Harris. Harris ordered Green to turn around. After Green complied, Harris turned Wiggins around while one of Harris companions searched Wiggins jacket. Harris then told Wiggins that he wanted the am/fm cassette radio that Wiggins was carrying by a shoulder strap. When Wiggins refused, Harris reached to remove the strap from Wiggins shoulder. As Wiggins sought to hold the radio, Harris noticed that Wiggins was wearing a watch and so informed his two companions. Harris then demanded that Wiggins give him either the watch or the radio. Wiggins responded, "take the radio," took the strap off his shoulder, and gave the radio to Harris. As Wiggins turned to leave, Harris asked: "Where are you going?" Harris then told Wiggins that he wanted the watch as well. After Wiggins gave him the watch, Harris told him that if he turned around or ran he would shoot him in the back.
