Caso Joe Jacobs

The scenario is: Joe Jacobs, 28, was arrested yesterday on charges of

selling illegal drugs to high school students. A local police officer posed

as a high school student was approached by Jacobs in the parking lot of

Smith Hill High School. Jacobs asked the undercover cop if he would like to

buy some marijuana. Before the undercover cop could answer, Jacobs pulled

some out of his pocket and showed it to the officer. Jacobs said to the

officer "Look at this stuff, Colombians couldn't grow it better! My supplier

not only sells it direct to me, he grows it himself."

Jacobs has been seen on numerous occasions hanging out at various local high

school parking lots around 2:30pm, the time school usually ends for the day.

School officials from multiple high schools have called the police regarding

Jacobs' presence at their school and noted an increase in drug use among

students, since his arrival.

The police need your help. They want to try and determine if Joe Jacobs has

been selling drugs to students at other schools besides Smith Hill. The

problem is no students will come forward and help the police. Based on Joe's

comment regarding the Colombians, the police are interested in finding Joe

Jacob's supplier/producer of marijuana.

Jacobs has denied selling drugs at any other school besides Smith Hill and

refuses to provide the police with the name of his drug supplier/producer.

Jacobs also refuses to validate the statement that he made to the undercover

officer right before his arrest. Upon issuing a search warrant and searching

of the suspect's house the police were able to obtain a small amount of

marijuana. The police also seized a single floppy disk, but no computer

and/or other media was present in the house.

The police have imaged the suspect's floppy disk and have provided you with

a copy. They would like you to examine the floppy disk and provide answers

to the following questions. The police would like you to pay special

attention to any information that might prove that Joe Jacobs was in fact

selling drugs at other high schools besides Smith Hill. They would also

like you to try and determine if possible who Joe Jacob's supplier is.

Jacob's posted bail set at $10,000.00. Afraid he may skip town, the police

would like to get him locked up as soon as possible. To do so, the police

have asked that you have the results fully completed and submitted by

October 25, 2002. Please provide the police with a strong case consisting of

your specific findings related to the questions, where the findings are

located on the disk, processes
