Upon arrival, Officer Paclib saw Stone sitting on the picnic table, who was 16  FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST’S HAWAIʻI REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER  with Officer Korenic. Officer Korenic informed her Stone was being arrested; he pointed to the baggie on the picnic table and instructed her to recover it. Officer Paclib placed the baggie into a manila envelope and sealed it with red evidence tape; she also took pictures of the scene. On cross-examination, Officer Paclib testified that had she seen IDs or other cards not belonging to Stone, it would have raised a “red flag” and she would have documented those circumstances in her police report “[i]f it was pertaining to the case[.]” She explained there were some personal items around the methamphetamine baggie, but she could not recall exactly what they were. Her report did not state anything about IDs. She did not see what transpired between Stone and Officer Korenic before her arrival. On re-direct examination, Officer Paclib stated she did not spend time looking at the other items on the picnic table because her assignment was to recover the methamphetamine baggie.
