PROBABLE CAUSE AFFIDAVIT The facts establishing probable cause in searching for and seizing the foregoing

specifically described person(s) property items articles instruments connected with the foregoing crime(s) at the location described herein are

Your Affiant is the lead case agent in a long tenn wiretap (Title III) investigation involving narcotics The investigation targeted a criminal conspiracy that included key members who resided in Chatham County Georgia McIntosh County Georgia and nearby in South Carolina including both Beaufort and Jasper Counties The voluminous documents associated with this investigation remained under seal in the office of the Chatham County Superior Court Clerk at the direction of Superior Court Judge Louisa Abbot however were eventually unsealed after State indictments Your Affiant hereby incorporates by reference herein and makes a part ofthis affidavit the contents ofeach affidavit he has sworn to in this investigation CNT 110311110 and any other affidavits associated with this investigation

Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team (CNT) has investigated members of this criminal narcotics network for over 11 years and has at various times arrested and obtained convictions of certain members including Anthony Heyward KING

During the Title III investigation multiple individuals were identified as co-conspirators responsible for acquiring possessing using distributing and trafficking primarily in cocaine and marijuana in Chatham County Georgia BeaufortJasper County South Carolina McIntosh County Georgia and the Atlanta Metropolitan area Additionally some members of the network have distributed liquid prescription codeine and other illegal drugs

The subjects who have been the direct targets of the investigation in issue have been

bull Anthony Heyward KING (aka GHOST JEEZY) bull Joseph MEDLOCK (aka POOCHIE) bull Leroy CHISHOLM (aka FATS) bull Leonard Anthony KENNEDY (aka NARD) bull Ernest Antonio EDWARDS (aka NUTZ BO BO BIZZLE) bull Rashawn Ahamd STEWART (akaBLACKBLACK MAGICSPOTSMOKE) bull Telly Savalas RILEY (aka JACK KOJACK)

During the course of the investigation the Affiant has been able to develop a Confidential Reliable Infonnant hereinafter referred to as CRI 1122 CRl 1122 is not currently on probation or parole and does not have a criminal history CRI 1122 has provided and continues to provide infonnation to assist law enforcement agencies in identifYing drug traffickers engaged in criminal activity To date infonnation provided by CRl 1122 has been corroborated through extensive independent police investigation and surveillance CRI 1122 has also provided information that led to the seiz~e~ 23 kilo grams of cocaine roughly 10 pounds of marijuana 1 0 firearms

4 ~ LLJudges initials Agents Initials Y-J

and over $30000000 in US currency from members of the current conspiracy

The investigation conducted by your Affiant information obtained from CRl 1122 and surveillance conducted by members oflaw enforcement assigned to this investigation has revealed a loose local network of narcotics traffickers who are generally cautious of law enforcement surveillance but who nonetheless continue to communicate on cellular telephones about their drug enterprise To reduce their risk the conspirators often speak in coded language and are deliberately vague Sometimes they use the phones merely to set up face to face meetings many ofwhich CNT agents have managed to observe The members of this criminal network routinely switch out their telephones and get new ones to avoid detection by law enforcement

Based on this Affiants investigation and information received from CRll122 your Affiant has learned that members of the conspiracy both known and unknown utilize cellular telephones to discuss the drug trade how they deal with each other where they meet and to some degree amounts and prices of drugs sold bought and distributed

One of your Affiants goals in applying for this search warrant is to search for and seize the actual handsets (the physical telephones themselves) associated with telephone numbers identified in the current investigation The handsets corroborate the information provided by CRl 1122 your Affiants investigation and surveillance conducted by members oflaw enforcement assigned to this investigation and aid in proof of the legal element of identity Moreover the call lists SMS text messages and contact data also prove identity corroborate information about the organization gleaned from the investigation and assist the state in proving the existence of a conspiracy a legal element in any stripe of conspiracy prosecution

The investigation is replete with examples of co-conspirators obtaining or generally having others obtain rental cars for them in furtherance oftheir drug conspiracy Often these members use females to obtain the rental cars for them and drive the cars themselves There is evidence to confirm that the females are aware of the purpose their renting the cars serves and own their secondary role in the conspiracy constantly renting and re-renting different cars to evade law enforcement detection

CNT has been able to observe the actual rental transactions occur on several occasions as well as obtaining billingrental information on many other car rentals carried out by members of the conspiracy and by others acting on their behalf

For example Michael Jernard SINGLETON (hereinafter referred to as SINGLETON) has had over 20 rental vehicles often higher endlluxury cars and never provides his home of record He changes rental vehicles after a week or two and continues the behavior

A subject named James WRIGHT (also identified in the on-going conspiracy) has used a woman named Cynthia HILBERT as an intermediary to rent his vehicles and has been doing so

5 Judges initials ~ Agents Initialyen

since he came to the Affiants attention during this investigation WRIGHT has provided 2 false names in separate rental transactions consistent with attempting to mask his identity

Ron Bernard ALLEN (hereinafter referred to as ALLEN) rents vehicles himself in his own name but again switches them out routinely Indeed in May 2012 when he was arrested for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana he was driving a rental car His wife attempted to conceal the marijuana for him and went so far as attempting to claim it to exonerate ALLEN

Notably CNT has conducted surveillance on one Ernest Antonio EDWARDS EDWARDS was repeatedly observed operating a rented Jeep Compass which he subsequently switched out for a Chrysler 200 As his intermediary he used a woman named Melissa Young with whom he is romantically linked

The rental cars not unlike the anonymous burner cell phones afford the conspirators some measure of anonymity and protection when used in furtherance of the narcotics conspiracy If cars are changed regularly police are less likely to recognize the subjects as they transport

large sums of money cocaine or marijuana The females who rent them the cars facilitate the transactions

Note that there are many more examples of co-conspirators who rent or have rented for them cars The above examples are illustrative not exhaustive One of Affiants aims in applying for this search warrant is to search for and seize any evidence of the car rentals including the rental agreements documenting them

Additionally this criminal conspiracy uses a series of local residences to store narcotics and prepare them for distribution For instance corroborated infonnation provided by CRT 1122 revealed that the network uses various residences for cooking (converting) powder cocaine into crack cocaine form or simply cutting the powder with an adulterant to maximize profit Also some of these houses are used as locations to sell or distribute product

Velvelyn SCARBOROUGH has been identified as a co-conspirator in this ongoing narcotics investigation SCARBOROUGH has been identified as an individual who has provided information to co-conspirator Leonard Anthony KENNEDY that would assist him in learning of the States evidence against him in CRN 110311110 SCARBOROUGH also attempted to warn KENNEDY of an imminent arrest by Law Enforcement During the investigation your affiant learned SCARBOROUGH and KENNEDY had a romantic relationship Your affiant has identified two different cellular numbers SCARBOROUGH has utilized during the investigation (912) 373-4075 and (912) 224-2655

In early 2012 Leonard Anthony KENNEDY aka 1fard was identified as a coshyconspirator in the investigation KENNEDY is responsible for distributing kilogram quantities of cocaine and marijuana within Chatham County KENNEDY and 38 other co-conspirators were indicted by a Chatham County Superior Court Grand Jury for Conspiracy to Violate Georgia

Judges initials ~ 6 Agents Initialyenshy

Controlled Substance Act on November 282012 In January 2013 KENNEDY was also indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia for Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute 5 Kilograms or more of Cocaine 280 Grams or More ofCrack Cocaine and 50 Kilograms or More of Marijuana KENNEDY has since pled guilty in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia It should be noted prior to this investigation KENNEDY had already achieved convicted felon status with multiple felony convictions

During the investigation KENNEDY was the target of two wiretaps for his cellular phone number (912) 272-2706 (Target Telephone 6) The wiretaps were authorized by Chatham County Superior Court Judge Louisa Abbot Eastern Judicial Circuit of Georgia The wiretap authorization periods were for 30 days each KENNEDY had two authorization periods Period one was authorized on March 21 2012 and was terminated on April 19 2012 Period two was authorized on April 26 2012 and was terminated on May 25 2012

Wiretap intercepts allowed this investigator to detennine patterns of innocence for example As previously stated SCARBOROUGH is a female acquaintance of KENNEDY During the investigation SCARBOROUGH utilized cellular telephone number (912) 373-4075 (T-Mobile) SCARBOROUGH and KENNEDY communicated through text message (SMS) and audio calls Pursuant to subpoena T-Mobile subscriber information confirmed the account is in SCARBOROUGHs name along with additional identifYing personal information The listed address for SCARBOROUGH is 1119 East 6ih Street Savannah Georgia

An Analysis of KENNEDYs wiretap for (912) 272-2706 Target Telephone 6 revealed SCARBOROUGHs cellular number (912) 373-4075 was in contact with KENNEDYs phone a total of157 times from March 232012 to April 19 2012 (lst authorization period) and a total of 138 times from April 26 2012 to May 21 2012 (2nd authorization period) These contacts between KENNEDY and SCARBOROUGH were monitored by CNT agents who were able to determine that SCARBOROUGH was not a part of KENNEDYs narcotics distribution network This agent has reviewed wiretap intercepts and confirmed that there were no drug conversations between SCARBOROUGH and KENNEDY No additional investigations were conducted on SCARBOROUGH during the wiretap However your affiant later learned of SCARBOROUGHs role through jail video

In January 2013 this agent subpoenaed Chatham County Detention Center jail records phone calls and jail visitation audiovideo for individuals arrested for the current investigation Amongst the requested documents and audiovideo was Leonard Anthony KENNEDYs information from two arrests August 132012 and November 292012 An initial review of KENNEDYs jail phone calls and jail visitation audiovideo indicated that KENNEDY was receiving information from someone with access to either law enforcement activities records or court documents Further investigation revealed Velvelyn SCARBOROUGH as the individual providingaiding KENNEDY Your affiant reviewed several Chatham County jail visitation videos and phone calls between SCARBOROUGH and KENNEDY

SCARBOROUGH is a Chatham County employee who works in the Superior Court of Chatham County administrative offices SCARBOROUGHs position allows her to have access to Chatham County Detention Center data bases (Phoenix) which stores an inmates court charge history arrest history warrant status personal information case disposition visitor information to include visitor addresses and relationship to the inmate This data base is frequently used by Law Enforcement Court administrators and is vital to local Law Enforcement investigations SCARBOROUGH also has access to court documents indictment documents investigative reports and many other investigation related documents to include arrest warrants SCARBOROUGH would even have access to the warrants before they are even executed on the wanted individual

After reviewing said videos your affiant learned SCARBOROUGH utilized her position within the Chatham County Superior Court to obtain court authorized search warrants investigative reports and any other documentation that could be located in reference to her coshyconspirator KENNEDY By her own admittance SCARBOROUGH attempted to obtain these documents shortly after KENNEDYs arrest on August 132012 SCARBOROUGH contacted Captain Clifford from the Garden City Police Department Garden City Georgia for the documents From the audiovideo it appears to your affiant that SCARBOROUGHs normal work duties allow for her to contact surrounding municipalities for court and investigative documents once the case has been bound up to Chatham County Superior Court However KENNEDYs case at the time was in its preliminary stages and had not been bound over to Chatham County Superior Court thus removing the need for SCARBOROUGH to obtain any documents relating to KENNEDYs case What SCARBOROUGH didnt know is that all documents pertaining to the investigation were under seal at the time all related documents have since been unsealed Your affiant is unable to confirm ifSCARBOROUGH was able to obtain the documents once the unseal order was issued Had these documents been obtained by SCARBOROUGH in August 2012 the investigation which was still ongoing could have been compromised Had SCARBOROUGHs intent come to fruition she and KENNEDY would have learned of informants used during the investigation other co-conspirators could have been alerted to Law Enforcement investigations surveillance techniques and the investigation in general which would have allowed co-conspirators time to plan defense strategies

SCARBOROUGH used her position at the courthouse in an attempt to manipulate KENNEDYs case by having the case assigned to a Judge that was different from the original presiding Judge However this did not work as other court employees did not cooperate with SCARBOROUGHs request SCARBOROUGH accessed Chatham County Jail data base Phoenix and reviewed the data entries for KENNEDY SCARBOROUGH viewed KENNEDYs visitor log and would later question KENNEDY about his visitors The visitor log records visitors relation to the inmate and also lists addresses for the visitors SCARBOROUGH also accessed other co-conspirators visitor logs and relayed to KENNEDY which attorneys were visiting their clients and how frequently This visitor log also indicates when a Law Enforcement official visits an inmate a leak of this information could potentially

place an inmate in danger if other inmates suspect an individual of cooperating with authorities The jail data base allows for these searches and records to be printed when needed

During ajail phone call on January 32012 SCARBOROUGH and KENNEDY appear to be having a heated discussion about their relationship SCARBOROUGH is displeased with KENNEDY not answering her calls At one point in the conversation SCARBOROUGH states tlte same day hefore you got arrested Im calling you to let you know that they gonna come get your ass andyou cOlildnt even come meet me nowhere A Chatham County Grand Jury returned a true hill indictment for 39 individuals (including KENNEDY) on November 28 2012 Later that afternoon Chatham County Superior Coilrt Judge Louisa Abbot issued Superior Court Bench Warrants for the arrest of the 39 indicted individuals After a lengthy planning process CNT agents along with other Law Enforcement agencies executed multiple search and arrest warrants in and around counties in Georgia and South Carolina It is your Affiants belief that SCARBOROUGH is referencing her attempt to aidabet KENNEDY prior to his arrest on November 292012

SCARBOROUGHs attempts to warn KENNEDY of his imminent arrest may have placed officers lives in grave danger Had KENNEDY answered his phone he would have learned of his warrants and had the advantage over approaching officers In Addition KENNEDY would have been able to destroy or conceal any evidence drugs cellular phones documents or money KENl-JEDY would have also had the opportunity to flee from Law Enforcement

After learning of SCARBOROUGHs attempt to warn KENNEDY this agent identified SCARBOROUGHs cellular number as (912) 224-2655 a T-Mobile cellular phone SCARBOROUGH also gave this same cellular number to KENNEDY during one of the jail recordings and is also the same cellular number KENNEDY called to talk to SCARBOROUGH on while he was in the Chatham County Detention Center This agent requested subscriber information and historical toll data for SCARBOROUGHs cellular number (912) 224-2655 The toll period requested covers November 10 2012 thru December 10 2012 Subscriber information received from T-Mobile indicates that (912) 224-2655 is a pre-paid account registered to Velvelyn SCARBOROUGH date of birth 22111979 no address listed This phone has been active since July 232012

KENNEDY was arrested on August 13 2012 and was bonded out on September 26 2012 his next arrest didnt occur until November 292012 Between incarceration periods KENNEDY obtained a new cellular number (912) 414-4803 a Verizon wireless cellular number Co-conspirator Kimberly ROBERSON had (912) 414-4803 in her phone contacts under Nard which is an alias for KENNEDY along with his jail photo from his August 132012 arrest ROBERSON also had KENNEDYs old cellular number (912) 272-2706 (Target Telephone 6) also listed under (tNard but with an older picture of KENNEDY

This agent analyzed SCARBOROUGHs historical toll data and located KENNEDYs

cellular number (912) 414-4803 SCARBOROUGH utilizing cellular number (912) 224-2655 placed an outgoing call to KENNEDYs (912) 414-4803 on November 292012 at 1250 am the call appeared to be unanswered At 629 am November 292012 SCARBOROUGH utilizing cellular number (912) 224-2655 placed a second outgoing call to KENNEDY that again went unanswered Your Affiant believes the phone records confirm SCARBOROUGHs statement that she called KENNEDY to warn him of his imminent arrest but he didnt answer his phone

As previously stated SCARBOROUGH listed 1119 East 6ih Street as her address for her T -Mobile account for cellular number (912) 373-4075 A utilities check of 1119 East 6ih Street shows Velvelyn S SCARBOROUGH with active service at this residence since February 2011 Also during one of the jail videos SCARBOROUGH tells KENNEDY her residence is on 67Th street

Affiant avers based on above facts that SCARBOROUGH is currently residing at 1119 East 67th Street Savannah Georgia and is also utilizing or has utilized cellular telephone numbers (912) 373-4075 and (912) 224-2655

Affiant believes that probable cause exists for the issuance ofa search warrant authorizing the search of the aforementioned residencecurtiledge and requests permission to do so

Your Affiant through training and experience while working narcotics related cases and other crimes has noted that several items are often not discarded even when no longer in use Your Affiant has found it to be common that old cell phone packages and receipts are kept once the cellular phones are removed from their packaging and put in use Your Affiant has also found it to be very common that once cellular phones are no longer used even when used for short periods of times as commonly found with drug dealers that the old phones are often kept and not discarded It is believed that these phones are kept for numbers that are stored in them or to be recycled activated again returning to a previously used phone number or using the same phone with a new telephone number assigned to them Packaging materials are often purchased in bulk leaving large amounts of bags or baggies in a location even if narcotics have not recently been pac~e~ut may be again Also items used in the preparation or packaging ie
