Upon my arrival, Paul was standing out front of Tolly’s. At this time, Paul was placed under arrest and into handcuffs that were gap checked and double-locked. Paul was searched incident to arrest with nothing located. Paul’s black Calvin Klein tri-fold wallet was opened and visually inspected before being placed into a property bag to be transported with him to the jail. Once in the backseat of my cruiser, Paul was read his Miranda Rights, which he stated he understood. Paul was transported to the Darke County Jail were he was released to jail staff. Jail staff was provided a copy of the affidavit and other arrest related paperwork. The backseat of cruiser 1930 was checked prior to and after transport with nothing located. During processing, jail staff located a small plastic baggie containing an unknown white powdery substance in Paul’s wallet. Jail staff verified with Paul that the wallet, and all of it’s contents, were indeed his property to which he stated yes. Jail staff was able to test this unknown substance using a’thermoscientfic TruNarc’ machine that identified the substance to be cocaine. Jail staff completed a report and photographed the substance. I then transported the suspected cocaine back to the Greenville Police Department where the substance was weighed and found to be.5 grams. The substance was then packaged and placed into property as evidence. There are no charges at this time. Upon lab results, I will be submitting felony charges to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office for felony drug possession charges. Charges pending lab results.

I checked the vehicle’s registration through LEADS/NCIC and learned the registered owner’s driving privileges are failure to reinstate. I also learned the registered owner has an active arrest warrant out of Miami County for failure to appear for an OVI.

The handcuffs were double locked and gap checked. I advised Gregory of his Miranda warning and completed a search incident to arrest of Gregory’s person, I located nothing.
