9:11 p.m. Somewhere in South Los Angeles
An undercover LAPD Narcotics team is running an operation targeting illegal drug distribution in the area. They have been monitoring a place where they observed several people going inside a business location and possibly leaving with illicit drugs, sometimes openly using the stuff right after receiving.

Undercover officers observe a man and a woman enter the target site together. Upon an alleged purchase, the man and the woman exit the location, but for some reason, the man separates from the woman. The woman apparently has something in her hand, so the team waits until she is far away from the target site to pursue her, as the man escapes. The apprehending officers advise to the others that they stopped the woman, who allegedly tried to discard some drug evidence. But they caught her with "paper" (possibly LSD) in her mouth.

9:15 p.m. Reseda Boulevard and Devonshire Street, Northridge
