A suspect was approached by two detectives for a series of violent sexual assaults that have recently occurred in town. The first detective (Jones) asked the suspect consent to search a backpack the suspect was in possession of. The suspect agreed and Detective Jones took possession of the backpack, and then proceeded to search the inside of the backpack. While the first detective was searching the backpack, the second detective (Vee) then asked the suspect for consent to search the suspect's clothing. The suspect gave consent for Detective Vee to search the clothing worn by the suspect.

Shortly after the search, Detective Jones located pictures of what appeared to be images of females tied with ropes and ripped clothing. The females on the pictures also appeared to have bruising on their faces. While Detective Vee conducted a search of the rear left pocket of the suspect's pants, Detective Vee located woman's underwear with what appeared to be blood stains. The suspect then asked to have his Miranda rights read before any further search can continue. The search was stopped by both detectives and items seized, and the suspect was arrested without incident.
