On 03 182017, Officer Griggers was working in the Real Time Crime Center monitoring the area around the ARCH utilizing the HALO cameras in an attempt to identify K2 (Synthetic (Cannabinoid) dealers. Officer Griggers was working this assignment in response to 2 rash of overdoses linked to K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoids), While monitoring the HALO cameras. Officer Griggers observed a B M wearing a white shirt. and tight colored jeans, sitting on the cast sidewalk of the 700 blk of Neches St. This subject was later identified as: Roger Chargois BM 01/26 1981 Officer Griggers observed that several subject were standing around Roger. Officer Gngzers observed Roger conduct a hand-io-hand transaction with one of these subjects sciling what appeared to bea “Stick”. K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid) is commonly placed in a Cigarillo that has been emptied of tobacco and is referred to on the street as a “Stick”. Officer Griggers then observed Roger reach into a white cooler he was next to and retrieved a red plastic baggy. Roger stood up, and looked around as if he was checking to see if someone was watching. Roger then raised his shirt, shoved the red plastic baggy into the front of his waistband. and lowered his shirt to cover it Based on his training and experience from previous K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid) investigations. and his knowledge of drug activity around the ARCH, Officer Rose suspected Roger was selling K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid). Officers Griggers and Schalthies left from the Austin Police Station and quickly went to detain Rodger to conduct a narcotics investigation. They located Rodger on the 700 bik of Red River. Officers Griggers and Schuthies detained Rodger, and asked Roger what was in the red baggy that be had in bis waistband. Roger said it was “Kush”. “Kush” is a common street term used when referencing Synthetic Cannabinoid. Due to Rodger’s admission to possession of SyntheticCannabinoid and Offic sm, the offices cond Xl Officer Griggers observations of Rodger on the HALO cameriy ducted a probable cause search of Rodger’s clothing. .

Roger admitted that some of the money he had was from selling, "Sticks' ‘A chemical analysis of the plant material found in the seized re-sealable product bags, showed them to contain compounds with the following components: Indazole (Core), Methoxy Dimethyl ‘Oxobutane (Group A), and Carboxamide (Link) and Indazole (Core), Methyl Methoxy Oxobutane (Group A), and Carboxamide (Link) in violation of Texas HSC 481.1031.b.5 which lists these as Penalty group 2-A Substances, The total weight of seized K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid) is approximately 24 grams.

Gall #4040. I have been a commissioned officer with the Austin Police Department since 1999. 1 am assigned to the Organized Crime Division, Narcotics Conspiracy Unit. I have been assigned to be a primary investigator of the trafficking of K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid) in the Austin area. These investigations have led me to coordinate with other local, state agencies and federal law enforcement agencies who also combat the trafficking of K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid) and its detrimental effects. I have conducted multiple narcotic investigations involving the distribution of K2 (Synthetic ‘Cannabinoid). I work closely with the Austin Police Department’s Forensic Chemistry Lab in tracking chemical compounds listed as a Penalty group 2-A substance found in K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid). I maintain a database of photographs of re-sealable product bags that have been found to contain K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid) that has tested positive for a Penalty group 2-A Substance. K2, also known as Spice, Kush, or Synthetic Marijuana, is marketed as incense, but is actually a product (commonly a plant material) that has been sprayed with a chemical compound that mimics the effects of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the active ingredient in marijuana, and is being smoked to produce intoxicating effects. These chemical compounds are listed as a Penalty group 2-A ‘Substance in Texas Health and Safety Code 481.1031.b. K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid) is commonly rolled in a rolling paper or a Cigarillo that has been emptied of its tobacco, and is referred to on the street as a “Stick”. ‘The OCD Street Narcotics Team and DTAC patrol have been conducting multiple Spotter Ops around the ARCH identifying K2 dealers. During the interrogations of the dealers, several of them stated two subjects; “J-Rock” and “Professor Denver” regularly supplied them with bags of K2 (Synthetic Cannabinoid) to sell. ried on 5/18/2017 9:08 AM Travis County District Clerk Velva L.
