On January 8, 2013, at approximately 6:00 p.m., Detectives from the Northern District Tactical Patrol Unit were patrolling the Freetown area in reference to complaints of drug activity. While conducting surveillance, detectives observed a subject that they believed was involved in drug activity in the area of Darrell Henry Court.
