inside. I entered the Women’s restroom and saw a male Hispanic, later identified as Joseph Absi sitting on the west toilet. I also saw a shopping cart, which was full of property inside of the same toilet stall with Absi in violation of B&P 22435.2b-Possession of a Shopping Cart. Macias spontaneously stated that Absi was assisting her with organizing her property. I had Macias and Absi exit the restroom. I handcuffed and detained Absi pending further investigation. I arrested Macias for B&P 22435.2b. Macias advised me that she did not have identification in her possession. Macias gave me a name of Natalia Macias with a date of birth of 09-07-95. Incident to arrest, Officer Armendariz searched Macias’ grey backpack and found a plastic bundle and a brown paper towel, which contained crystal methamphetamine in both.

Macias also admitted to having additional crystal methamphetamine and glass pipe in her bra. Park Safety Officer White #3250 arrived on scene in order to search Macias. PS Officer White searched Macias and found a plastic bundle and toilet paper in her bra. I confirmed that the plastic bundle contained a white substance resembling crystal methamphetamine. I unwrapped the toilet paper and found an additional glass pipe. Based on my training and experience, I recognized the crystal substance to be crystal methamphetamine. The glass pipes are commonly used to smoke crystal methamphetamine. I collected the crystal methamphetamine and glass pipes as evidence. I took photos of the above evidence (see attached photos). It should be noted that Macias was not under the influence of a controlled substance. Sergeant Pham #6903 was advised and approved the arrest.

Prior to leaving the above location, Macias admitted that she gave me her sister’s, Natalia name instead of hers. Macias stated that she gave me her sister’s name because she had a warrant for her arrest. Macias then gave me her true name and date of birth.

When we arrived at the scene, we put on our personal protective equipment and noticed that the lights were turned off inside the cell and the cell door was open. Shortly after we arrived, Deputy Clindaniel turned on the lights inside the cell. Soon after, I went inside to take pictures of the crime scene. I first started in the right corner of the cell and went counter clockwise, taking pictures from the corners of the cell. Next, I took close up shots of each of the evidence. Lastly, I stood on the outside of the cell to take a picture of the whole crime scene.
