He agreed, and when he saw the ammo boxes he recognized them immediately along with a can of appliance epoxy spray. Mr. Scaffa works as an appliance repair tech. At this point it was evident that Mr. Jones would be under arrest for the burglary of the ammo. We asked Mr. Scaffa if he could recognize any more items as stolen, and he recognized the tool bags that were inside the car along with his Notre Dame checkbook. When we opened the checkbook it was indeed Mr. Scaffa’s. The tool bags contained numerous personal items of Mr. Scaffa with his name or address on it.
I approached Taylor Jones again and read him his Constitutional rights. He agreed to speak to me. I confronted him with the preponderance of evidence against him, and he said he would talk. I asked him to cooperate and he agreed. He told me that he parked at 821 SE 9th Ct. at approximately 3:30 a.m. and he walked over to 820 SE 9th Ct.

David Leon Riley was pulled over by a police officer for a driving a vehicle with expired license tags. The police officer who initially stopped Riley discovered that his driver’s license had also been suspended. Following department procedures, the police officer then continued to impound his vehicle. Before the car was impounded, the police officers are required to do an inventory of all of the components of the vehicle to prevent being liable for any missing items after the car is recovered, as well as, to discover any illegal or dangerous items. During the vehicle search, officers found two handguns under the hood of Riley’s vehicle and then proceeded to arrest Riley for the possession of firearms. When the arresting officer conducted a person’s search of Riley, it was found that Riley had a cell phone in his pocket. The cell phone was taken by police and taken back to the station where an analyst discovered data on Riley’s cell phone that was ultimately used to tie Riley to a drive-by shooting that had occurred a few weeks earlier. Based on the pictures and video recovered by the detective analyst specializing in gangs, and ballistics tests conducted on the two hand guns found in Riley’s vehicle, the state of California charged Riley in connection with the shooting. The arresting officer accessed data stored on Riley’s cell phone and noticed a repeated term associated with a street gang.
