After the suspect convinced the cop to loosen the handcuffs, one of the officers noticed that he might be trying to slip the cuffs. The suspect had moved his hands and the cuffs from behind his back to the front. Take a look. Well, we don't care what's more comfortable. Okay. We're not We're not in the business.

Are they trying to get down? That's another charge. After making sure the suspect was secured in the police car, officers then went to assess everything he was hiding in his own vehicle. So, so here's the thing. So, in this was [ __ ] like this. Don't touch. I know it was getting a little rocky. Um, so pieces of that were in here and I tested that. So, that's what the folk am I is it am I good to assume the rest of this [ __ ] is fentanyl or how or cuz do you have like one of those mobile tank things cuz I don't I don't have a good one at this. I think I burned through all of mine. Um, what's in this? What we got in here? Uh, I haven't even opened that yet, so just be careful. So, that's going to be more and more. So, in in here there was like It looked like uh at Walmart the end of a Q-tip, but just just the white part though. Yeah, just the Q-tip. Yeah, he used that to clean his needles and the filter. Okay. All right. Um, so dude, you probably got draft king amounts, too. Holy [ __ ] Cuz it's over 4 g. You got to go back to the PD, right? Oh, no. I don't have a scale. Is anybody from SLU working? Cuz last time I had something like this. No, they're not working. Larry, help me with your There's only one of them anyway. Um, so if you want to relocate back to PD and start weighing stuff out because I'm telling you right now, actually that looks like Tina. That's meth right there. Okay. So, that's going to be meth. That's a meth rock. You got about a a gram a this powder looks like fent like like that was that again it was little small chunks of that was in here. Okay. So I put that. So I'm that was fentanyl. Correct. Then these three. So you probably don't have trapping. You probably have about 82 g. Okay. Now a little bit light. But you don't know what's in these either. Right. Now when when weighing them you mind keep an eye on make sure it's not OD or some [ __ ] When weighing them are they separately or weighing this together? All together. All three of these together. Yep. Because they're all going to go in the same bag anyway. I mean, it's the same dope, same evidence bag. So, meth. So, the meth the No, the meth is separate. Okay. The same type of drug is together. Okay. So, this is pro this looks like it's going to be fed. And which I know this is fatty. So, those can go together is what you're saying. Yes. Gotcha. Okay. Yep. But still wouldn't hurt to run on these bags. Okay. Um testing me. Yeah. Let me check and see if I have any of the true narks cuz I don't I don't think I do. I got you. Cuz I I think I used all mine. But um he was there a minute ago. The little caper. Yeah. Let me get some gloves. I'm a pro.
