A search of the vehicle revealed a small white plastic bag which contained a crystal-like substance consistent with Methamphetamine. Moreno and Rose were officially detained for a narcotics offense.

Moreno was arrested and charged with Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled substance PG1; over 4 grams.
