Turcotte's privilege to operate a motor vehicle was criminally suspended, and he did not have an otherwise valid driver's license. Turcotte had a prior No License conviction within the past 2 years, making it now a criminal offense.
While searching Turcotte incident to arrest, I found 8 glassine baggies containing a white powder in his pocket. The white powder field tested positive for the chemical makeup of Fentanyl.
