1. Assignment 2: LASA 1: A Drug Deal Gone Bad
This assignment aims for you to evaluate the criminal
investigations process.
Here’s What Happened . . .
Around 12:00 p.m. on September 13, 2004, Fred Smith walked
across the road to Bill Jones's house to ask for a ride. Although
it was almost fall, it was still very hot outside and Smith needed
to pick up money in a neighboring town. Smith didn't want to
walk from Centervale to Roan County, so he offered to pay
Jones $20.00 for gas and his time to drive Smith to pick up his
money. Jones accepted Smith's offer; however, Jones told Smith
that he had to pick up a friend at a car repair shop along the
way. Jones and Smith drove to Thrifty Repair Shop and picked
up Jones's friend, Roger Fish. Fish was not in a hurry that day,
so he agreed to ride with the pair to pick up Smith's money.
The trio arrived at 200 S. Railroad Street, Brysonton, Roan
County, AnyState. Smith exited the car and told Jones and Fish
to wait in the car. As Smith walked toward the front of the
residence, he yelled to the occupants inside, "You got some
weed?" "Yeah," Raynard Jenkins replied from inside the
residence. Jenkins greeted Smith at the door and asked him,
"What you got?" Smith pulled out a Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum
and shot Jenkins in the chest at point-blank range.
As Jenkins was falling toward the ground, Bob Marshall, a local
drug dealer, jumped up from the corner of the couch, dropped a
large bag of cocaine on the floor, and ran into the kitchen and
out the back door. Smith chased Marshall, shot at him twice, but
missed him. Smith ran back to the car and yelled to Jones,
"Punch it! He tried to smoke (kill) me." The group sped away in
a brown Ford Taurus, but were pulled over by Deputy R. W.
Dunn approximately five miles from the scene. After coming to
a complete stop, Jones threw the gun onto the rear floorboard of
the car, next to Fish.
Deputy Dunn approached the car, asked the men to exit the car,

2. and detained them to await another officer's arrival. When the
officer was brought to the location where the men were being
detained, a witness who saw the shooting identified Jones as the
shooter. Smith, Jones, and Fish were arrested, transported to the
Roan County Sheriff's Office for additional questioning, and
booked into jail on first-degree murder charges.
The Investigation . . .
State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) Special Agent (SA) Pete
Moss arrived at the scene at 200 S. Railroad Street, Brysonton,
Roan County, AnyState, with CSI and SBI SA April Pearson at
1:03 p.m. to assist the Sheriff's Office with investigating the
murder of Jenkins and the attempted murder of Marshall. SA
Pearson interviewed key witnesses who lived in the immediate
area within proximity of the crime scene, while SA Moss began
drafting a search warrant. Although the Sheriff's Office had
secured the scene around the house, SA Pearson secured an
additional larger area that extended into the street. Both the
interior and exterior barriers were secured with crime scene
tape. The Sheriff's Office arranged to have the suspects' car
towed to a secure location for processing.
SA Moss completed the search warrant, and Superior Court
Judge Bradley signed it after reviewing it for format, technical
legal aspects, and probable cause. SA Moss returned to the
residence to execute the warrant so SA Pearson could begin to
process the scene. SA Pearson started taking notes when she
started taking photographs. She photographed the scene from
the overall and close-up perspectives. She used a scale (ruler)
with each item of evidence for the second close-up photograph.
She conducted a grid search, placed evidence markers beside
certain items of evidence she thought were important, and
rephotographed those items—close-up and close-up with scale
perspectives this time. She maintained notes about various
aspects of the scene throughout the photographing process. SA
Pearson drew a sketch with every item of evidence in the sketch
and measured everything secured in the immediate barrier. She
did not sketch the second barrier that included the road. She

3. drew several sketches of each room of the house independently.
SA Moss enlisted the help of the Sheriff's Office detectives to
assist with the lead sheet development. Three leads came in. SA
Moss assigned each lead to a detective for follow-up. Detective
Mark Rolland followed up on information about the Jenkins'
family. Detective Erin Norse checked out a lead about Jenkins
talking about killing Smith. Detective John Roberts followed a
lead about Fish selling drugs from the car repair shop. Each
detective interviewed his witness and typed up his notes. They
threw away their notes after they were finished because they
didn't need them anymore and what the witnesses said was in
their typed-up versions now. SA Moss checked off the witnesses
one by one and shredded the lead sheet once all witnesses had
been accounted for.
The investigation revealed that Smith was seen running after
Marshall while shooting at him and that Jones was driving the
getaway car. Numerous witnesses reported hearing several
gunshots before they saw Smith running and shooting at
Marshall. The crime scene evidence appeared to indicate, upon
cursory review, that Jenkins was shot once in the chest in the
doorway of his home. It also appeared that Jenkins was
conscious for a period of time after suffering the gunshot
wound, because SA Pearson observed swipe bloodstain patterns
in the blood near his head. SA Pearson used a gridding method
to map the bloodstain evidence, labeled the stains, and took at
least two swabs from each stain she selected. She photographed
the bloodstain evidence; took notes of the stains she swabbed,
along with specific measurements; and took gel lifts of
particular stains. No projectiles were recovered at the scene or
from the autopsy. No shell casings were recovered at the scene.
SA Pearson also recovered the large, clear plastic bag
containing a white, powdery substance that Marshall dropped on
the floor as he ran from the house. The crime laboratory
recovered Marshall's fingerprints from the plastic bag and
matched them to his Ten-Print Card from a previous arrest.
SA Moss attempted to interview Smith, but Smith asked, "How

4. much time can someone get for something like this?" and then
asked for a lawyer. Agent Moss responded, "A significant
amount of time." Smith laid his head on the table and went to
sleep. Jones and Fish gave the same account of what happened
by claiming that Smith got out of the car and walked up to the
door. Then, they heard several shots, and then Smith ran back to
the car with a gun and said someone tried to "smoke" him. The
trio was booked into the local jail. Jones and Fish posted bail,
but Smith was denied bond.
SA Pearson recovered the Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum from the
rear floorboard the next day, pursuant to a second search
warrant issued for the suspects' car. She noticed a reddish-
brown substance on the barrel of the firearm. SA Pearson placed
the firearm in a plastic bag, sealed it, put the bag in a plastic
tote, and put the tote in her trunk. Then, SA Pearson noticed a
brownish-red substance consistent with the color of blood on
the passenger side door. SA Pearson took two swabs of the stain
using a sterile swab and distilled water. One tested positive for
blood by a presumptive test called phenolphthalein. SA Pearson
allowed the other swab to dry thoroughly and placed it into a
sterile envelope for confirmatory testing and DNA testing at the
crime lab.

around to turn in her drive way. After she turned around, she
heard several gunshots and the white male running across the
street and get into the brown car and drove off.
She pulled into the driveway and took her groceries into the

If the numbers stamped are identical, DA will note on each page
which set of discovery belongs to each officer. (Stamp ‘em all;
let the DA sort ‘em out.)
Discovery of Physical Items of Evidence
DA will contact LEO regarding defendant or attorney viewing

custodian. When opening a bag or box containing an item of
physical evidence, LEO must cut bag or box along a new seam.
LEO must not cut existing evidence seal.
Confidential Informants: If a Confidential Informant was used
to obtain information in the investigation of a felony, the LEO
must give the DA written notice of that fact and must stamp that
notice as part of the original LEO file. The written notice
should not contain any identifying information but should
merely state that a confidential informant was used to obtain
information. (Example: A confidential informant was used to
obtain information that served as a basis for obtaining a search
warrant in this case. Example: A confidential informant was
used to obtain information regarding defendant’s whereabouts
that led to an arrest in this case.)
