Details

On 6/19/2012, at approximately 11:10am, an officer was on routine patrol and noticed a suspicious vehicle in the 4600 block of Verona Road. The officer noted that the license plate did not match the vehicle that it was attached to, and the individual (later identified as Valentino Varese) that was driving the car was contacted by the officer. Varese immediately denied any knowledge of vehicle registration issues, as this car belonged to his friend, and he was only using the vehicle to visit his mother and pick up a T-shirt. The officer asked Varese if he were in possession of narcotics or weapons, and he emphatically stated "No". When a question was specifically asked about whether he had Marijuana, he stated he had a bag of weed, and handed over that item. Varese was placed under arrest, and after the vehicle was searched, a white substance was located, and tested positive as Cocaine. In addition to the drugs located inside of the vehicle, Varese did have a revoked driving status, and this was his 22nd offense for operating after revocation. The officer took Varese into custody on all charges listed above. PO Howard Payne
