On January 21, 2014, Flores was found with 2 green Mayan antiquities. One of them was Jade mask broken in 3 fragments and the other was a jade figurine that was intact. Woman police Corporal Popper testified that she received a call while she was on patrol on Freetown road and she apprehended Flores and searched a back pack he had on his shoulder, and that led to the discovery of the antiquities. Archaeologist Oscar Ramos testified that on January 22, 2014, he examined the 2 pieces and verified that they were antiquities. Scenes of Crime technician Devon Westby testified that he took photographs of the pieces and the photographs were admitted into evidence as exhibits.

After the prosecution closed its case, Flores' attorney, Andrew Bennett, made a submission that Flores does not have a case to answer. Bennett said that there is no evidence that Flores was asked to produce a license and it was not for Ramos to testify as to whether Flores had a license or not because Ramos is not the person who gives licenses. That job belongs to the Director of Archaeology. Bennett also submitted it was never verified by the prosecution that the photographs of the antiquities were those of the antiquities that Flores had. He added further that under the NICH law, a person who finds an antique monument has 15 days to register it after the find and it was not established when Flores had possession of the antiquities.
