An undercover officer approached a rusted 1978 rusted Tradesman van parked on the side of Route 25 southbound in the early evening. The officer described the driver as shirtless, wearing cutoff shorts and a gold chain that said 'TWEETY', and covered in crude tattoos. She propositioned Carl, to which Carl replied, "Hop in, baby!" Carl was taken into custody shortly thereafter. Inside the van, officers found a six-pack of Old Style, several car stereos from 1980s vehicles, a sack of expired Slim Jims, and a duffel bag containing what one deputy called "a suspicious" number of VHS tapes. | An undercover officer approached a rusted 1978 rusted Tradesman van parked on the side of Route 25 southbound in the early evening.
