UPON ARRIVAL, DEPUTY COLEMAN ADVISED ME THAT HE HAD BEEN OFF DUTY DRIVING THROUGH THE AREA WHEN HE OBSERVED A BLACK PURSE LAYING in the ROADWAY AT OUR CURRENT LOCATION. HE FURTHER ADVISED THAT HE STOPPED TO COLLECT THE PURSE, SO THAT IT COULD BE TURNED IN AS FOUND PROPERTY. WHILE CHECKING THE INSIDE OF THE PURSE FOR THE OWNERâS IDENTIFICATION HE LOCATED WHAT HE BELIEVED TO BE POSSIBLE NARCOTICS. DEPUTY COLEMAN ADVISED THAT A SHORT TIME LATER, A FEMALE LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MS HEATHER LYNN GILLETTE, ARRIVED ON A FOUR WHEELER AND ADVISED HIM THAT IT WAS HER PURSE. DEPUTY COLEMAN SAID THAT THE DEFENDANT UPON LEARNING HE WAS LAW ENFORCEMENT BECAME UPSET, AT WHICH TIME, HE REQUESTED THIS DEPUTY TO RESPOND TO HIS LOCATION.

THE SUBSTANCE TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE PRESENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINE. I MADE CONTACT with a THE DEFENDANT AND READ HER MIRANDA VIA AGENCY PRINTED CARD. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND WAS WILLING TO SPEAK WITH ME. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THE PURSE BELONGED TO HER, SHE ADVISED THAT IT DID AND SHE HAD LOST IT EARLIER IN THE DAY AND HAD BEEN OUT LOOKING FOR IT. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT WAS INSIDE THE PURSE, SHE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN CRYING AND STATED THAT IT WAS âMETHâ. THE DEFENDANT DID ADMIT THAT THE âMETHâ IN THE PURSE DID BELONG TO HER. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT SHE USES METHAMPHETAMINE ON A DAILY BASIS AND EATS A SMALL AMOUNT IN THE MORNING.
