On Wednesday October 16, 2024 at approximately 0053 hours, I Ptlm. Dacosta and Ptlm. Carias (Car 332) was on patrol on Elmwood
Ave and Parkis Ave when we saw a Matte grey Jeep Grand Cherokee pass by our marked police cruiser. It should be noted that the
vehicle had window tint all around and had a plate cover on the temporary registration causing issues on reading the information.
We then maneuvered our marked police cruiser behind the matte grey Jeep Grand Cherokee at Elmwood Ave and Bridgham St. and
saw a temporary registration of 4236107 with an unknown state. We then activated our overhead lights signaling for it to stop. It
should be noted that the operator of the vehicle then “slow rolled” from Elmwood Ave and Bridgham St to then coming to a complete
stop in front of 343 Broad St. This tactic is known to police by slowing down an interaction with police to hide any contraband or
weapons. It should also be noted that the area is known for high narcotic usage. This is when we exited our marked police cruiser and
approached the operator who was later identified as Christian Barmore (DOB: 7/28/1999). Barmore first response was why he was
getting stopped, which police then stated the reason for the traffic stop and our observations. During this interaction Barmore had an
attitude towards police and when requested for proper paperwork for the vehicle he then handed it over in an aggressive manner to
police.
We then realized that the PA temporary registration 4236107 was active from 08/05/2024 and expired on 10/05/2024. Police then asked
if he had any updated registration for the vehicle to which he did not provide. Barmore then proceeded with giving police an attitude
and asked for a ticket. It was at this time police advised Barmore that his vehicle was getting towed on scene and that we were going to
perform a search of the vehicle as well. Police also talked to Barmore’s mother advising her that she was able to pick him up on scene.
It should be noted that while we were commanding Barmore to step out the vehicle numerous times, police observed him reaching
under the seat attempting to conceal an object. During this time Barmore was on the phone with his mom, stating that he wants a
Sergeant on scene, to which we stated respectfully if he steps out the vehicle that the sergeant will arrive on scene. After several
attempts, police were finally able to get Barmore to exit the vehicle. It should be noted that while we were trying to get control of
Barmore, he kept pushing away from police stating that he did not want to be touched. He then walked towards the rear of the vehicle
while police proceeded with the search and we found an ash cup along with what appeared to be a blunt rolled with an unknown
substance where he was seen reaching under the seat. Under the passenger side seat, we found what appeared to be several tubes filled
with marijuana. It was at this time that Barmore walked towards a black Dodge Challenger and left the scene while still giving police a
hard time.
The vehicle was then towed by Precision Towing and Barmore was issued Universal summons 24409505929 for 31-3-1 Operation of
unregistered Vehicle, 31-3-18, Display of plates, and 31-3-32 Driving with expired registration. Due to Barmore belligerent behavior
and not wanting to stay on scene we left his summons in the vehicle along with his license and documents. It should be noted that the
VIN was ran VIA Channel 4 and came back with an expired registration out of Maine to a different name.
