Garmon — Habitual-felon indictment may precede principal felony indictment

The Supreme Court held that the Habitual Felon Act does not prohibit filing the status indictment before the principal-felony indictment. It rejected relief on that ground. On the vehicle count, the Court found insufficient evidence of using the car to keep drugs over time but remanded for consideration of the alternative allegation that it was maintained to sell drugs.
