Upon submitting to a field sobriety test, resulting in the Slattery’s judgment that Leibried was incapable of safe driving, the officer observed several small, blue “baggies” on the driver’s floor.

When asked if he had anymore narcotics with him, Leibried told police that he had hidden a needle within his left sock. The police report states ath several more baggies, each stamped with “007” were found bundled with the needle.

A supplemental police report described the needle as a hypodermic needle, which was uncapped. This supplemental report noted that another officer observed Leibried with fresh blood stains on his right hand.
