INCIDENTS
98-68 - Golden Gate NRA (CA) - Drug Arrest
Park Police officer Garth Folley was on patrol on February 11th when he came
upon a jeep parked illegally in a handicapped space. The driver, A.L.,
was not handicapped and had no handicapped placard. A routine "wants
and warrants" check revealed that A.L. could be searched without a warrant
as a condition of his probation. Folley subsequently found that A.L. had a
substantial amount of packaged cocaine in his possession and arrested him for
possession with intent to sell. A.L.'s residence adjacent to the park was
searched and more evidence of cocaine sales was located. A.L. was arrested
by USPP officers in 1995 for selling cocaine from his bar (Tippy's Bar) in
San Francisco. The bar was closed as a result of this case and is now a
bakery. [Lt. Kevin Hay, USPP, SFFO, 2/12]
