Hey I noticed Officer Cockrell states her reasoning for suspicion of drugs was prior law enforcement activity but in her deposition she says she has not ever met me and that she has only heard my name from a prior domestic disturbance call and I had already left .. I haven't been in trouble in 10 years and she was only an officer for 3 years. Domestic Disturbance is not a drug activity.She told me it would be best for me to let them search before a K9 showed up because I had my dog Baby with me ..I took that as a threat.I was tired and by this time aggravated with the whole situation.Eric had appeared back on scene but he originally got out of my car at blue Star Lodge and I went ahead and inquired about a room at travel lodge because Blue Star Lodge did not have an office and was ubder construction at the time .I was tired so I went ahead to inquire about room rates at travel lodge and I had to go to store down road to get cash because Travel lodge did not take cards.I left went to gas station and I was at store for probably * min according to my Google location time frame and when i pulled bsck into travel lodge i seen Eric in parking lot I did not speak to him because i was upset with him for starting an unnecessary argument and getting out of my vehicle earlier so I proceeded to office and paid for my room and was given my room key.when I walked out of office I was headed to my room and I seen a patrol car parked behind my car and eric yelled somethibg about the cops being there but i did not thibk they were there for me but about that time they kinda came at us informing us they knew who we were blah blah and tokd us about * call .than wanted to search us and than wanted to search car ..
