Westlake K9 Officer Timmy
On 11/3/18 at approx. 8:30AM an officer noted suspicious behavior in the Red Roof Inn parking lot. A vehicle was stopped leaving the area after they committed a traffic violation. After observing criminal behavior indicators, a Westlake PD K9 sniff of the vehicle prompted further investigation. In all, over 1 Kilogram of illegal THC/cannabis oil in cartridges was recovered from the vehicle. Follow-up led to a room at the Red Roof Inn where it appeared that the subject was manufacturing the drugs. Paraphernalia including chemistry beakers and written instructions were recovered. In addition, over 3 additional kilograms of THC oil was located. A 26yo male from Napolean, MI was charged with trafficking and illegal manufacture of drugs, both felonies. A 25yo female from Bay Village, who had rented the room, was charged with felony complicity for the same offenses. It is estimated that these narcotics would sell for over $100,000 on the streets.
