  1. BEACHY – Harwin may have been released as a “computer check” was taking too long. During the normal course of conversation, especially after finding the contraband, Harwin could have simply been asked, “are you on probation or parole.” Solves waiting for the computer and how the deputies continue depends on the answer.
