Narrative: On 15 July 2017 at 9:30 AM a deputy responded to a Chicken BBQ for the report of a customer who had dropped a baggie containing pills and a white powdery substance in the parking lot of the event. The deputy learned that a subject, later identified as Hubert Herring of Temperanceville, VA, dropped the baggie as he exited his truck to make a purchase at the BBQ event. Herring drove away without retrieving the baggie. Herring returned to the lot (prior to the deputy’s arrival) after he apparently realized he did not have the baggie anymore but left when he could not locate it.
The deputy identified the pills in the baggie as Oxycodone and the white substance as Cocaine. The deputy was unable to locate Herring and subsequently left the area.
The deputy learned that Herring had returned a second time in an effort to locate the baggie at which time the deputy was able to respond back and detain Herring. Following a subsequent investigation, Herring admitted to inadvertently dropping the baggie. After placing Herring under arrest, the deputy found additional drug paraphernalia along with Marijuana and a smoking device in Herring’s possession.
The deputy transported Herring to the Central Booking Unit where he was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. Following an initial appearance, the Commissioner released Herring on Personal Recognizance.
