Officers Waterman and Iazzi observed a vehicle parked at a convenience store. Approximately one hour later, Officers Waterman and Iazzi noticed the vehicle was still parked at the convenience store. The vehicle displayed two separate VA license plates not belonging to the vehicle and appeared to have had the VIN plate removed. While investigating, Officer Waterman observed a used needle in plain view and a hand-written note on the dash of the vehicle. Due to concerning statements made in the note, Officers became concerned for the subject they had previously seen inside the vehicle. Officers Waterman and Iazzi located the male subject inside the restroom. Officers continued investigating and discovered methamphetamine and heroin/fentanyl inside the vehicle.
