On October 10, 2024 at approximately 2218 hours, Deputy Broling and Kadinger responded to [300 BLOCK] Cessna Cir in reference to a suspicious vehicle. This is what occurred.
When Deputy Broling and Kadinger arrived on scene, Deputy Broling spoke with the caller, [REDACTED]. Ms. [REDACTED] stated that there is a dark colored truck that has been sitting out front of her house in the middle of the road for about the past three hours.
Deputy Broling approached the vehicle and saw a male sitting in the driver seat. The vehicle was a 2000 Toyota Tundra with Georgia tag # [REDACTED]. The vehicle was registered to Alvin Roach. Deputy Broling asked the male what he was doing there and he stated he was waiting for a girl to show up.

Deputy Broling then asked for consent to search the vehicle and Alvin denied consent. Deputy Broling then went back to his vehicle.

Detective Ruedas then advised Deputy Broling a short time later he would be coming to the scene. Deputy Broling then called for the list wrecker to come tow the vehicle.
When Detective Ruedas arrived, he turned the suspected meth, marijuana and Alvin’s cell phone over to him. The meth was field tested and it tested positive for methamphetamine.
