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 11, 2014, the property described be low was seized at 3675 Flat Shoals Road, Room# 110, DeKalb County, Georgia by Detective M.N. Carter of the DeKalb County Police Depart ment: a. Approximately 21.5 grams of co caine; and b. Approximately 48.1 grams of marijuana; and c. Six hundred twenty dollars ($620.00) in U.S. Currency. 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 co caine and marijuana. b. was found in close proximity to said cocaine and marijuana; or c. represents proceeds derived or realized from said violation(s) of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. During the month of May, 2014, De tective Carter received information from a Confidential Informant regard ing illegal narcotics being sold from the Efficiency Lodge, room 110. De tective Carter set up surveillance at the location, at which time she ob served a male subject arrive at the hotel and enter room 110. She then noticed that shortly thereafter, sever al unknown people in various vehicles arrived at the hotel, go in side room 110 for less than 10 minutes and then leave, activity that is consistent with illegal drug distribu tion. The following day she set up a con trolled buy, where she took the Con fidential Informant to the hotel and, while under surveillance, observed them enter room 110 and return a short time later with .5 grams of Co caine which had been purchased from room 110 with funds derived from the DeKalb County Investigat ive Fund. Several days later, Detective M Crews and the Confidential Inform ant went back to the target location, where the Confidential Informant, while under surveillance, was ob served entering room 110 and return a short time later with 1.1 grams of Cocaine which had been purchased from room 110 with funds derived from the DeKalb County Investigat ive Fund. Due to these investigative findings, Detective Carter was issued a search warrant of the location and on June 11, 2014, DeKalb County SWAT and DeKalb County Narcotics Unit ex ecuted the search warrant. While ex ecuting the breach into the location, ++Gary Matthew++ ran to the bath room where he was discovered try ing to flush Cocaine down the toilet.

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). Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 16-13- 49(n)(3), any claim to the seized property must be sent within thirty days to the seizing law enforcement agency AND to Deputy Chief Assist ant District Attorney, Kenneth Hutcherson, by certified mail, return receipt requested.
