During the month of March, 2014, Detective Crews was informed by a concerned citizen that an individual by the alias of “A1” was involved in il legal Cocaine distribution. The con cerned citizen was able to provide Detective Crews with a cell phone number for the subject and upon the Detective observing the number, He was able to immediately identify it to be the cell phone num ber for a subject he knows as Joshua Wayne Nutt whom he had come in contact with back in November, 2013, when Nutt contacted Crews about be ing a cooperative witness for a an ar rest of Nutt for Possession of Co caine at 2810 Lawrenceville Hwy, Tucker. However, Nutt never made good on his promise and failed to communicate further with Detective Crews. Several days after getting this com plaint, Detective Crews, acting in an undercover capacity, sent a text mes sage to Nutt, at phone number 404- 287-7328, which initiated a purchase for powder cocaine. Nutt responded to the text message, first wanting to know how Crews got his number and then taking Detective Crews order for a “ball of white girl” which is the street term for 1/8th of an ounce of powder cocaine. Nutt informed Detective Crews that the price would be either $150 or $190 and that he would be up and working in about an hour. About an hour later, Nutt called the Detective and informed him that he was ready to conduct the transaction. Nutt instructed Detective Crews to meet him in the parking lot of apart ment complex at 1491 Druid Valley Dr., The Park at Briarcliff Apartments. Nutt instructed Detective Crews to enter the complex, make the first right turn, park and then call him. De tective Crews did as Nutt had instruc ted and upon arriving at the desig nated location, made the phone call to Nutt who, a short time later, was observed emerging from apartment 1407-A. Nutt entered the passenger side of the undercover vehicle, at which time he handed Detective Crews a plastic baggy containing 4.4 grams of Cocaine; and after weigh ing the drugs, Detective Crews gave Nutt $170.00 derived from the DeKalb County Investigative Fund. On March 26, 2014, based on this evidence, Detective Crews was gran ted a search warrant for 1407 Druid Valley Dr., Apt A. He called Nutt and requested to purchase another 1/8th of an ounce of cocaine from him. They arranged to conduct the transaction at the same location and in the same manner as they did be fore. Upon arriving at the location, Detective Crews contacted Nutt, as he did before, at which time Nutt came out the target location and entered the undercover vehicle, at which time he gave Detective Crews a plastic bag containing the Cocaine and Crews in return gave him $140.00, as Nutt requested, which was derived from the DeKalb County Investigative Fund. Upon Nutt exiting the vehicle He was approached by SWAT at which time He attempted to flee on foot, but was apprehended after a short foot chase.

NOTICE OF SEIZURE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY VALUED AT $25,000.00 OR LESS TO: ALL PERSONS CLAIMING AN INTEREST IN PROPERTY DE SCRIBED BELOW Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 16-13-49(n), you are hereby notified that on June 6, 2014, the property described be low was seized at LaFortune Drive at Kelly Lake Road, DeKalb County, Georgia by Detective M.D. Crews of the DeKalb County Police Depart ment: a. Approximately 26.08 grams of heroin; and b. One thousand five hundred ninety three dollars ($1,593.00) in U.S. Cur rency. Conduct giving rise to said seizure was as follows: Said property: a. was directly or indirectly used or in tended for use to facilitate a violation of the Georgia Controlled Sub stances Act, O.C.G.A. § 16-13-30, more specifically, the possession, distribution, sale, or delivery of heroin. b. was found in close proximity to said heroin; or c. represents proceeds derived or realized from said violation(s) of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. More specifically, on May 30th, 2014, Detective Crews of the DeKalb County Narcotics Unit received in formation from a Confidential Inform ant (Cl) who advised him that an indi vidual known as “Sweet,” who was later identified as ++Roderick Parks++, was selling heroin in the area of Candler Rd., and Kelly Lake Rd. The Confidential Informant ad vised Detective Crews that they pur chased heroin from Parks in the past. Detective Crews was familiar with the alias “Sweet,” since October of 2013, due to three individuals overdosing after injecting Heroin that was pur chased from him. On this same date, Crews had the Confidential Informant to set up a controlled buy, which upon contact ing Parks they agreed to meet at the Citgo Gas Station on Candler Rd. to conduct a transaction for 1 gram of Heroin. The Confidential Informant was provided with an undisclosed amount of US currency derived from the DeKalb County Investigation Fund. Upon arriving to the Citgo Gas Station, the Confidential Informant, while under visual surveillance, met with Parks, at which time Detective Crews observed Parks hand the Con fidential Informant a white envelope in exchange for the USC, which was derived from the DeKalb County In vestigative Fund. Upon returning to the vehicle, the Confidential Inform ant relinquished the white envelope to Detective Crews which contained ,7g of Heroin. On June 6, 2014, Detective Crews re ceived a phone call from the Confid ential Informant, who advised that their friend, who was visiting from out of town, met with PARKS without their knowledge and purchased heroin. Immediately after purchasing the heroin from PARKS, the friend of the Confidential Informant, who was later identified as Curtis Chichester, drove to the CVS at 2458 Candler Rd., and injected himself with the heroin. Approximately 3-5 minutes later, EMS and Police received an emergency call of a person down at the CVS. Upon their arrival, they found Chichester unresponsive from an overdose. Chichester was taken to Grady for treatment. Detective Crews spoke to Officer Spruill, the responding officer, who advised that he interviewed Kelly Burke, the girlfriend of Chichester who was with him at the time of the overdose and she advised that Chichester had just purchased $75.00 worth of heroin from Parks, who was driving a green escape, on Lafortune Dr. A short time later, Detective Crews received another call from the Confid ential Informant who stated that an other friend of theirs, Timothy Burke, who had also purchased Heroin from Parks at the same time Chichester purchased his, had just injected some Heroin and is now being trans ported to Gwinnett Medical from an overdose on the same heroin. Fearing the heroin being distributed by Parks could be laced with an un known substance causing people who use it to become critically ill, De tective Crews obtained an arrest war rant for PARKS for the sale on May 30th. On June 6, 2014, upon being ob served driving his Ford Escape, Parks was pulled over and arrested. An open air sniff was conducted on the exterior of the vehicle by Officer Summe’s K-9, which resulted in an alert of the presence of illegal Narcot ics. Upon placing the K-9 in the interi or of the vehicle, the K9 alerted again to the presence of narcotics. Upon conducting an inventory search, Detective McBride located 6.08 grams of Heroin, which were concealed in a red Mentos bottle loc ated on the passenger side backseat floor board, in two separate white en velopes located on the front passen ger seat and in a white envelope loc ated on the passenger side floor board near the center console. They seized an undetermined amount of USC which was located in Park’s Pocket and in the center console of the vehicle. Detectives Crews and McBride con ducted a recorded Mirandized inter rogation where Parks admitted to selling heroin and that he had sold the heroin to Chichester and Burke which they overdosed on. On this same evening, Detective Crews, members of the Narcotics Section and K9 units conducted a “knock and talk” at Parks’ residence where they spoke with Parks’ mother and father who own the residence. They stated Parks has lived at their residence since January, 2014. They advised that Parks also owns a 1997 blue Dodge Intrepid which was parked in their driveway. They stated the vehicle is registered to their other son, Philippe Parks, but suspect Parks is the true owner and had it re gistered in his brother’s name. An open air sniff of the exterior of the Dodge Intrepid was conducted by Of ficer Carrigan and his K9, which res ulted in a positive hit of illegal narcot ics. The vehicle was then impounded and a search warrant was executed on it which resulted in 20 grams of Heroin located on the driver side floorboard. Unfortunately on June 7, 2014, De tective Crews was advised that Chichester had died as a result of in jecting the Heroin Parks had sold him. This information was confirmed by Grady Hospital. Parks was arrested and transported to DeKalb County Jail. The U.S. cur rency was transported to BB&T Bank where it was counted by an employ ee and determined to be $1,593.00. The currency was then deposited in an account at the bank. Parks was charged with Violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. The heroin is subject to forfeit ure pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 16-13- 49(d)(1). The currency is subject to forfeiture pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 16- 13-49(d)(2) and (d)(6).
