Cross examination
1. How many officers went to the unit
I do not recall how many units it was spontaneous I was driving an unmarked car.
When I went to the house I called out and shake the grill me and other officers called as well.
Then persons came out and I was informed that no one had the key and thereafter someone
came and opened the grill. Then we entered and searched the house. The room that you
saw Akeemly Grant in there was furniture I do not recall seeing a female in the room.
I am suggesting that your collegues saw the grill off. I don't recall seeing a female in the
room and then said that is not so.
When the suspect was held in the room that you were not in the room and is w
No I did not take him into custody in the year 2017 it was in 2018 he said so 2 times
