Vehicle Violence Observation Examples
On 11/28/2016 at approximately 8:52 PM, I, Sgt. Scott Hale, DSN 114, while driving with Ptl. Hector Rivera, DSN 232, were on routine patrol driving westbound on W. Corbin St. approaching the intersection of Stadium Drive when we observed headlights from a moving vehicle on the western part of W. Corbin. It should be noted that the vehicle was on the side of the road that was barricaded and posted “No Trespassing”.

Ryan Dugger, DSN 227, arrived on scene to assist. I approached the vehicle and had Martin step out of the vehicle. I asked if there was anything illegal and he replied no. I asked if he had any objections to me searching his vehicle and he said that he did not have any and said “go ahead”. I conducted a pat down of Martin and found no weapons or contraband. I conducted a pat down of Metcalf and removed a small pocket knife from him and held it for safe keeping. A pat down of Marrujo yielded no weapons or contraband. Ptl. Rivera and I conducted a search of the vehicle and located a nearly empty bottle of UV vodka in the rear compartment of the vehicle. All three subjects submitted to a portable breath test and all three results yielded a BAC of .00. Martin stated that he shares the vehicle with his older cousin who is of age. The vodka was poured out and disposed of. Ptl. Rivera further located a Gillespie Lieutenant badge in the glove compartment of the vehicle. Martin stated that his grandfather is a retired police officer from Gillespie. I advised Martin that the badge would be seized and that his grandfather would have to come to the Bethalto Police Department and speak with me to have the badge returned to him. I continued to scold the three for having alcohol in the vehicle and to be trespassing on a road where there is a visible “No Trespassing” sign in the road. I told Martin to take Marrujo and Metcalf home immediately. I told Marrujo and Metcalf to tell their
