A neighbor, Patricia Ann Garcia, has been indicted on federal charges of conveying false information, with several 911 calls. She alleged the Tuttles were drug dealers and had machine guns. None of it was true.
Goines (this is the correct spelling), claimed that an informant had made two drug buys at the house, and had used that information to get the warrant. No informant had made any such buys.
Goines was found to have drugs of the type claimed in the warrant, in his car, as well as a stolen handgun, when his official vehicle was searched.
His partner, Steven Bryant was caught lying for him, trying to cover up.
No such drugs were found at the Tuttle home.
Goines was having an affair with the informant who he falsely claimed had done the drug buys.
Wonder what it was that he couldn't plant that evidence inside that house? They probably would have never been caught if he had been able to, like many times before no doubt.
Thanks for the background.
