  September 2008 - Ortino Enterprises, Inc. to Assist in Drug Use Intervention

Ortino Enterprises, Inc. is now certified to test for individuals' use and handling of Marijuana, Cocaine, Opiates, Amphetamines & Methamphetamines (Ecstasy) through SecureTec's DrugWipe series of drug tests.  Of note in this series is the "DrugWipe 5" which simultaneously detects any or all of these five drugs categories on an individual's skin through perspiration or areas they have touched, and can even be used to test rooms certain types of drugs have been used in.  Furthermore, testing is possible in some situations without the subject's knowledge or presence required.

The possibilities for this type of surface testing are endless.  We initially plan on offering this service to parents and guardians who wish to intervene in possible drug use/addictions within their own family.  These test kits are currently in stock and require one of our three certified Investigators to administer.  If you're in the Florida area, contact us to discuss your specific application.

Qualified professionals may inquire with us to become certified to use the DrugWipe tests.  These tests are recognized by the White House's Office for National Drug Policy and have been used by the FBI, DEA, U.S. Customs,  and many European Union Police Forces.  They are suitable for Law Enforcement, schools, colleges, pre-employment, Probation, families, on-going random drug testing, as well as many other applications.  We also have a specific test unit which may be utilized by Home Inspectors during initial home inspections to verify the absence of chemical residuals from methamphetamine ("meth") labs.  As many know, meth labs can produce explosive gases.

Contact us if you feel drug use is present in your home, work, school, vehicle, or any other situation. 

 

JULY 10TH, 2007 - JEFFREY SCOTT RYALS CONVICTED IN FATAL 2002 HIT-AND-RUN

On Feb. 23, 2002, a hit-and-run driver caused the death of Michael Moritz, a 68-year-old Ohio man.  Mortiz died 10 days after the accident from the injuries sustained in the crash.    

Ortino Investigations was hired by the Attorney representing Mortiz's family to investigate the incident after they the Sheriff's Office closed their investigation "unfounded".  No arrests had been made, and it appeared that driver Jeffery Scott Ryals' crime was going to go unpunished.

After an in-depth investigation, Ortino Investigations was able to locate important witnesses and obtain enough evidence for the State Attorney's Office to issue an arrest warrant for Ryals on multiple charges surrounding the fatal crash.  After a two-day trial, jurors convicted Ryals of vehicular homicide for the death of Michael Mortiz.  Ryals was also found guilty of leaving the scene of a crash resulting in injuries - Edwin Overmyer, one of three passengers in the vehicle, suffered a broken ankle, a fractured arm, broken ribs, and a dislocated hip that had to be replaced 3½ years later.

In August 2007, Ryals received a twenty and a ten year sentence (to be served concurrently) for the charges stemming from the 2002 hit-and-run.
