Minck conducted a traffic stop on a blue Chevy SUV for a traffic infraction in the 1200 block of NE 3rd Ave. DS Minck used his public address system to give the driver instructions to exit the vehicle, but the driver, later identified as 51-year-old Curtis Spruce, refused. Spruce verbally acknowledged he could hear DS Minck’s commands but continued to disobey them. DS Minck also observed Curtis to make numerous suspicious movements while inside the vehicle. Due to his continued noncompliance, Curtis’ SUV was pinned in by a patrol vehicle to ensure he wouldn’t flee, and a high-risk traffic stop was conducted. Curtis was called out of the SUV, and he was placed under arrest for Resisting without Violence. During a search incident to the arrest of Curtis’ person, a bag of various illegal narcotics was found inside his undergarments. Inside the bag were 109 grams of Methamphetamines, 14 grams of Cocaine, 9.7 grams of Fentanyl, (as little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl can be lethal, and this quantity could represent 4,850 potentially fatal doses), and Percocet. Law enforcement found an additional bag of 16.2 grams of Cocaine that fell out of Curtis’ pants during the search. A query of Curtis revealed he is a convicted felon, previously serving time for various illegal Narcotic Violations, Robbery with a Gun or Deadly Weapon, Burglary, Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle, and Fleeing and Eluding Law Enforcement. The traffic stop also took place within the vicinity of a church on NE 4th Avenue. In addition to Resisting without Violence, Curtis was charged with Trafficking Methamphetamine 14 Grams or More, Trafficking in Cocaine More than 28 Grams, Trafficking Fentanyl 4 Grams or More, Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Sell/Manufacture/Distribute within 1000 Ft of a Place of Worship, Possession of a Vehicle to Traffic a Controlled Substance, Tamper with Evidence, Possession or Use of Drug Equipment, and Resisting without Violence.$
