Narcotic Officer Arrest Two in Traffic Stop
On
Monday October 22, 2007 two people were arrested for possession of a controlled
substance. Deputy David Magers made a traffic stop on a White Chevrolet Suburban
driven by a female identified as Tiffany Chapman, 26 of
Decatur, for numerous moving violations. These violations were observed
by an narcotics officer who was familiar with Chapman and aware that she had
recently been released from TDC on narcotic charges stemming from the arrests
made on several individuals in December of 2005.
Tiffany
Chapman received a three year and six months sentence in TDC and was released on
parole in April 2007. Chapman was just one of the individuals narcotics agents
have been watching as she had been selling about a half pound of
methamphetamines a week.
Deputy
Magers identified the passenger as Carlos Davila, 41 of Bridgeport. Davila had
recently been released from TDC of narcotic related charges, too. The narcotics
officer approached the passenger and asked if there were any illegal narcotics
in the vehicle, Davila advised
there was a small amount of marijuana inside the vehicle. The narcotics officers
requested Davila to hand the marijuana to him which Davila complied. The
narcotics officer asked if there were any other illegal narcotics in the
vehicle? Both individuals replied
no.
Upon
a search of the vehicle, officers found plastic bags containing a brown
crystal-like substance, and a smaller bag containing several different kinds of
pills. Officer also found a glass smoking pipe and a set of digital scales.
Officers also located approximately $ 1,200.
Upon
arrival at the Sheriff’s Office, the officers weighed the bags of suspected
methamphetamines and the total weight, including packaging was 34.2 grams. A
field test of the narcotics, showed a positive reaction to the presence of
methamphetamines. The other pills found in the vehicle were identified by the
narcotics officers, and the green leafy substance was tested and
reacted positively for the presence of marijuana.
