On Sunday, April 12, 2020, at about 6:27pm, the CNMI Department of Public Safety was responding to a case in the parking lot of San Jose Market. While tending to another individual, officers were also speaking to a second female individual. The second individual continuously asked officers if she could leave the area.
Officers immediately noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from the female operator. The operator was asked to step out of the vehicle. Officers asked the operator some questions, and the operator stated that she had a drink earlier and did not have her driver’s license as it was at home. Officers asked if she was willing to complete a Standard Field Sobriety Test before they call a relative to pick her up.
The operator agreed and handed items to the officer to hold while she completed the SFST. The receiving officer immediately noticed a few suspicious items, including a clear zip baggie containing a crystal-like substance, as well as a pack of Zig-Zag rolling papers.
The suspect was found with several zip baggies on her person, along with a straw, and cash. The zip baggies and their contents were all tested on-site and results indicated that the substance was presumptive positive for methamphetamine.
