P. v. Sazo
About 1:00 p.m. on February 14, 2011, officers went to a residence to arrest Rosanna Sazo. Officer Aaron Thompson saw defendant Ernest Sazo walk quickly across the backyard toward a shed. Officer Thompson reported what he had seen to Officer Brandon Hann. Officer Hann approached the shed, found no one inside, but found defendant standing in the two-foot space between the shed and the fence. On the ground, a few feet away from where defendant had been standing, the officer found a glass pipe for smoking methamphetamine and a black bag under a lifter weight. In the black bag, the officer found five baggies containing a total of over 23 grams of methamphetamine, marijuana, two metal spoons, a pipe for smoking marijuana, a writing pen, a blue canvas bag, a sunglass bag, and a total of 22 unused baggies inside a larger baggie with an apple logo printed on it. On defendant’s person, the officer found $1,351.63 in various denominations (eight $100 bills, six $50 bills, twelve $20 bills, ten $1 bills) and $1.63 in change. An expert testified that defendant possessed the methamphetamine for sale.
