And so the audience, the listeners are getting from Small Town Dicks. What actually happens out there. Not something that's been glamorized. But also you guys don't exploit the cases. You're empathetic to the victims. And this is what I'm all about. And I know that people who know me from

It's two three a.m. Our patrol guys exhausted everything they could do our canines check and don't come across any kind of track that leads them in any direction.

One way or the other. We have nothing. Hi, I'm Yardley. This is Detective Dan. Hey there. And his identical twin brother, Detective Dave. Hello. And this is Small Town Dicks.

You'll hear detectives from small towns around the world discuss their most memorable cases. We cover the intimate details of what went wrong and what went right.

As these dedicated men and women search for justice and crack the case names and certain details have been changed to protect the privacy of the victims and their families.

So please join us in maintaining their anonymity out of respect for what they've been through. Thank you.

Today on Small Town Dicks, we have one of the usual suspects we have Detective Dan. Good morning. Good morning. It's so good to see you. Great to see you.

Our own Detective Dave is off fighting crime in small town USA, but as always, he's here with us in spirit and small town farm. I hope you're sitting down because we have one of our favorite original guests from the podcast.

We have Detective Justin who gave us bait and switch. He gave us supply chain. We adore Justin. He's been extraordinarily busy and we are grateful that he has agreed to give us his day off to sit down and chat with us. Justin, welcome back.

Thanks for having me back. Justin was also part of our season one mini soads in canine tales. That's true because Justin inherited Dan's canine feto.

This is true. Anywho, I digress. Justin, please take it away.

Sure. So this case is from a few years ago now that happened actually on the early morning hours after Thanksgiving back in 2018.

Happening kind of a normal average neighborhood here in our small town. It's a house that was known to us specifically. We've served a couple drug search warns there.

So from my perspective, I've been there at least twice that I can remember the gentleman that lives there named Jason was a not high level, but was a drug dealer in town. So we need a house.

What kind of way do we talk in that Jason is moving? I would call it street level. Jason basically sells drugs to support his own drug habit.

His family, he has some family, but they're not overly close. I mean, they are aware of each other. They're not enemies, but he's not tightened it with any family. And so he kind of lives this life of dealing drugs and getting by day to day.

And each time we serve a drug search warrant there. It's the typical drug Dan. There's any number of people that may or may not live there present. And then there's property of all sorts all over the house.

It's full of tools, beds, kayaks, bows and arrows. I mean, you name it and anything that can be traded for drugs is just there.

And it's stolen property. Most of it. Yeah. A lot of the times it's not able to be traced back because people won't have their certain number or description of whatever the item is that lets us identify it uniquely. And so, you know, there's how many deWalt power saws out there.
