According to court documents, Brown County Sheriff’s Deputy Randee Murphy was dispatched to 27850 210th Avenue April 17, 2023 for a homeowner who found drugs on his property that he wanted to turn over.

A witness said he found what he thought was Moffett’s purse under a backyard porch plus a bag by a tree in the grove. He said she was trespassed from the property as of April 20, 2023 because he wanted the property gone so Moffett had no reason to come back.

The witness said his son and Moffett used to date when he found her sleeping in the dog kennel and in the basement bathroom one morning. Deputy Murphy later talked to Moffett at the rural address and was told the trespass service was not valid.

Deputy Murphy searched Moffett’s bags and found many items taken as evidence including tubes, straws, a lid with residue, razorblade, scraper, containers with roaches and waxy substances, vapes and vape cartridges.
