Officers, in an undercover capacity, were approached by a black male and white female looking to sell the undercover officers drugs. The officers indicated that they wanted to make a buy. After an exchange of money, the female suspect told officers, “give me your money and I will get you the drugs in McDonalds.” As the female suspect made her way towards the restaurant, the male suspect waited with the undercover officers. During this time, surveillance officers observed the female suspect walk into McDonalds and, then, walk out without speaking to or interacting with anyone. Officers then observed the female suspect rendezvous with the male suspect and the undercover officers. When the undercover officers asked for their drugs, the female suspect stated she gave the money to an individual inside the McDonalds.
