where the 2 door, Capri Blue, 320 CLK Mercedes Benz models where identified/indicated by decoding the vehicle identification number.

< <--~.

13) OnJune 24, Officer Barrett and I started the vehicle search. The DMV list led us to 78 DuPont PI Bridgeport, CT; the residence of

Christian Hicks born 6/26/82, who is a registered owner of a 2 door, Capri blue, 2002 Mercedes Benz bearing Connecticut registration 954- TVR. We spoke to Erica Fulton who is the ex-girlfriend and mother of Christian's daughter. She said she hadn't seen or spoken to Christian for approximately 7months. She said the last time she saw him he had dreadlocks. She claimed didn't know how to contact or locate Christian and she was very vague with the information she provided. I asked her to have him contact me, he never did. During a second meeting with Fulton on a later date, she changed her story. She claimed the last time she saw Christian was approximately 4 months ago and during that time he asked her to cut his dreadlocks off, so she did. On a later date, a DMV blow-back photograph of Christian's driver's license which was taken in March 7,2009; showing him with long dreadlocks pulled to the back into a ponytail.

14) On June 29, Officer Barrett and I went to Bridgeport Police Department to have an in-house check on Christian Hicks conducted. The check revealed an inquiry of Christian's license plate (CT-REG 954-TVR) was conducted in the state of Georgia on June 2i".

15) On July 3, I spoke on the phone with Sgt. Chambers of the Houston County Sheriffs Department located in Georgia. Chambers stopped Christian for a window tint violation. Christian produced a valid Connecticut driver's license with the 78 DuPont PI Bridgeport, CT address. Chambers noticed Christian was nervous and distraught and he smelled an odor of burnt marijuana emanating from the vehicle. Christian told Chambers he was traveling to Daytona Florida to visit his brother. Chambers noticed there wasn't any luggage in the vehicle. Christian told Chambers he doesn't smoke marijuana and he is the only operator of his vehicle. Chambers used a K-9 drug sniffmg dog around the exterior of the vehicle; the dog alerted on the driver's side door. Chambers systematically searched the interior of the vehicle but no drugs were found. Chambers attempted to check the engine compartment but the hood wouldn't open. During the search Chambers noticed the vehicle had a black leather bra covering the front bumper.
