(a)(2)); and the felony false imprisonment of Georgina Johnson, Willie Wills, and Cassandra Kelley (Pen.Code, §§ 236, 237). [1] It was further alleged that each of these offenses was committed by a principal who was armed with a firearm within the meaning of section 12022, subdivision (a)(1).

Appellant entered not guilty pleas to the substantive offenses and denied each of the enhancements.
