Decent Essays
On April 4, 2018 at approximately 1915 hours, I was at the Pasco County Detention Center located at 20101 Central BL in reference to an unrelated case. I was informed a subject arrested by the Port Richey Police, Guhner Andrew Larkin, had introduced contraband into the detention center. I made contact with PSO Property Clerk, Nancy Mistretta. Nancy advised she was conducting an inventory of Guhner’s property, when she discovered a piece of folded paper in his wallet. She advised inside of the folded paper was a wax like substance she believed was cannabis concentrate hash oil. Nancy provided me with a written statement, which was later attached to this report. A photograph of the wallet was taken and electronically submitted into evidence
