Description
I. INTRODUCTION Nobody answered the door on July 26, 2005, when law enforcement officers appeared in response to a 911 hang-up call originating from room 215 of a Sioux Falls, South Dakota motel. (1) The officers retrieved a key from the front desk and returned to the room. (2) The second time they knocked, they were greeted by Isabel Garcia Vallejo (Vallejo). (3) The officers advised Vallejo that they were responding to the 911 call and needed to enter the room to "check on her welfare." (4) Once inside, officers found a glass water bong. (5) The bong field-tested positive for methamphetamine. (6) The officers arrested Vallejo, and she consented to a search of the room. (7) Officers discovered drug paraphernalia, evidence of drug distribution, and luggage containing a man's clothing. (8) An officer retrieved a photocopy of the identification used to rent the room and issued a "be on the lookout" advisory for the missing male suspect and his vehicle. (9) The man was eventually discovered in the bathroom of a local restaurant. (10) He identified himself as Juan Martinez, but law enforcement's already heightened suspicions were further aroused when the suspect was unable to spell his name. (11) Further investigation revealed that the suspect's actual name was Kevin Ballesillo Selalla (Selalla). (12)
