During the month o f June 2008, the CNT began receiving information from a cooperating defendant. The informant will hereafter be referred to as SOl I. SOl I provided information on his/her dmg supplier, Percy June ANDERSON, aka PIG/PIGGY.
SOl I explained how ANDERSON was conducting drug transactions with law enforcement officers not only within Savannah but also the surrounding area. SOl I said this organization was selling multiple kilograms of cocaine and high grade marijuana. According to SOl 1, he/she accompanied ANDERSON on two occasions to a residence located at the corner of 40’h and Bee Road to purchase large quantities of drugs.
After the drugs were purchased a marked police vehicle escorted them to where SOl I was living at the time. SOl 1 was very fearful because it was unknown how the marked police vehicle knew where SO! 1 lived. SOl I would later explain the entire incident was a test. According to SOl I,
ANDERSON would later explain that he was being tested in order to see what type of person he/she was. SOl I was being offered membership into the organization. SOl I denied the request due to fear of working with law enforcement officers.
SOl 1 provided infonnation on an “officer” believed to be a POST certified police officer with Savannah- Chatham Metro. SOl I was able to observe an older black male wearing a police uniform exit the residence during the time ANDERSON was purchasing drugs from the residence. SOI 1 said multiple ounces o f cocaine were purchased from this “officer” on two occasions. SOl I admitted to being with ANDERSON inside the vehicle as they drove around the Savannah area and was being escorted by at least one marked police vehicle after making the cocaine purchases. SOl l also mentioned seeing a second black male who was also wearing a police unifmm at the residence. SOl I said it was a black male but was only able to get a small glimpse of this second officer.
Based on the information provided by SOI I, agents were able to show ANDERSON and James WILLIAMS did in fact know each other. During one particular incident, ANDERSON was a passenger inside the vehicle and was found to be in possession of illegal drugs. ANDERSON was arrested, while James WILLIAMS was cited for a seatbelt violation and released.
On December 2, 2008 KHAALIS along with this Agent met with the warden at Coastal State Prison Warden Ammons. Warden Ammons was informed o f the investigation o f James WILLIAMS, his alleged illegal activities. Two other people were identified as possibly being involved with James WILLIAMS. One was identified as Glendora BRJDDELL.
Agents discovered BRIDDELL was living with James WILLIAMS at the time, which is why she became a suspect. Warden Ammons agreed to assist the CNT in any way possible. Warden Ammons confinned that James WILLIAMS and BRJDDELL were employees at the prison.
On April 16, 2009 at approximately 1530 hours, Agents began conducting surveillance at Coastal State Prison. This surveillance was unanticipated and was announced by Lt. Smith at approximately
1500 hours to the agents participating. Agents Guyer, M. Delatorres, Roshi Smith, Desautels, KHAALIS along with this Agent were present for the surveillance operation.
Roshi Smith
Agents planned on following James WILLIAMS from the prison in order to observe his activities. Sometime around J630 hours KHAALIS, contacted this Agent and requested pennission to contact Willet WILLIAMS and inquire about his brother James WILLIAMS and when he would get off from work. This Agent denied the request because it did not seem logical for KHAALIS to call and ask about James WILLIAMS at all. Again, KHAALIS never told this Agent he had any relationship with Willet WILLIAMS. This is not a routine investigative tool and it made no sense until later in the investigation.
James WILLIAMS left the prison at approximately I730 hours and Agents followed. James WILLIAMS anived at his residence at approximately 1755 hours and entered his residence.
We received toll records, on Willet WILLIAMS cell phone in May and discovered several different phone calls between Willet WILLIAMS and KHAALIS cell phone had taken place during the time of the surveillance. During the time of the surveillance, approximately 7 different phone calls were made between KHAALIS and Willet WILLIAMS. Out of the 7 different phone calls, approximately 2-3 of the calls were over one minute in length, meaning a conversation occurred.
Agent M. Delatorre was positioned the closest to the residence, facing the garage (Bee Road) and was able to observe any activity. At approximately 1825 hours, Agent M. Delatorre reported James WILLIAMS had walked outside of the residence and began actively looking around as he spoke on the phone. Agent M. Delatorre reported James WILLIAMS walked to edge of his driveway on Bee Road and looked down each street as if he were looking for som:thing. James WILLIAMS was on his cell phone at the time. Other CNT Agents were parked in the surrounding blocks and were not visible to James WILLIAMS.
A check of the Pen Order on James WILLIAMS’ telephone and toll records of Willet WILLIAMS cell phone, show Jan1es WILLIAMS and Willet WILLIAMS were speaking at 1825 hours, the same time JAMES had walked outside and was observed by Agent M. Delatorre. Within a few minutes after James WILLIAMS exited the residence, Agent M. Delatorre reported observing a marked police vehicle slowly drove past his vehicle.
According to Agent M. Delatorre, the officer was a black male who wore glasses. The officer drove past and looked at the Agent while driving slowly. By this time James WILLIAMS was out of sight.
· At approximately 1843 hours, Agent M. Delatorre reported observing James WILLIAMS exit the residence again briefly, looking around, and then re-entered the residence. At 1847 hours, James WILLIAMS backs out of the garage and heads north on Bee Road. At the same time, Agent M. Delatorre announced that he observed the same marked police vehicle drove past Agent M. Delatorre for a second time. It seems suspicious the marked police vehicle drove past Agent M. Delatone both times James WILLIAMS exited his residence. Agent M. Delatone remained at the residence as other Agents followed James WILLIAMS away from the residence.
James WILLIAMS drove to a shopping center on Wallin and Victmy Drive. James WILLIAMS parked his vehicle and entered the Dollar General Store. At I852 hours Agent M. Delatoll’e reported seeing a white colored, 4-door vehicle anive and pull into the garage. This vehicle is believed to belong to Willet WILLIAMS based on the fact that he owns a vehicle similar to this. James WILLIAMS exited the Dollar General Store after a short time and carried a bag in his hands.
James WILLIAMS then entered the Kroger Grocery Store. James WILLIAMS exited this store a few minutes later carrying another bag. Lt. Smith was informed of the surveillance operation results and as a result he asked for assistance from Sgt. Lupus. Sgt. Lupus was a supervisor in Central Precinct. Sgt. Lupus was asked to provide the name of the officer who drove past Agent M. Delatorre. The only information Sgt. Lupus was able to obtain was that the marked patrol vehicle was not assigned to a patrol function in that area on that day. We did not want Sgt. Lupus to officially find out who drove the patrol vehicle in order to prevent anyone from asking too many questions.
KHAALIS specifically asked this Agent a day after the surveillance operation if a toll request would be sought for Willet WILLIAMS cell phone. This Agent told KHAALIS, a toll request had already been requested but Lt. Smith had denied the request for Willet WILLIAMS cell phone due to him being a police officer. Lt. Smith wanted additional evidence before requesting the toll records on Willet WILLIAMS cell phone. However, the DEA had already requested the tolls.
Upon seeing the initial set of tolls from Willet WILLIAMS cell phone, the alerted behavior by James WILLIAMS on April 16’11 things began to make more sense.
KHAALIS was actually parked at the prison waiting on James WILLIAMS to leave when these calls took place. KHAALIS was the closest Agent to James WILLIAMS until he left work.
Toll analysis showed that on Aprill6, 2009 (the date ofthe surveillance on James WILLIAMS) cell phones belonging to KHAALIS and Willet WILLIAMS had contacted each other 7 times between 1706 hours and 1713 hours.
Toll analysis also shows that 3 minutes after Willet WILLIAMS last call with KHAALIS, Willet WILLIAMS and CNT Agent R. GERJDO utilizing CNT cellular telephone (912) 547-1155 had contact each other 6 times between 1716 hours 1742 hours. Toll analysis also shows that James WILLIAMS and Willet WILLIAMS contacted each other 3 times at the exact same time that James WILLIAMS exited his residence looking up and down the streets near his residence. Toll analysis also showed that time KHAALIS and GERJDO also had contact during the time of the surveillance.
On January 27, 20I0, a minimization briefing was being conducted in reference to Joshua VARNER’s cell phone.
After the briefing, KHAALIS was supposed to return to the wire room and remain until the end o f his shift. At 1500 hours, this Agmt noticed that KHAALIS had left the wire room. KHAALIS left the wire room and returned at approximately 1700 hours in time for him to get off of work. KHAALIS was scheduled to be in the wire room as a monitor that day until 1700 hours, so his leaving and not acting as a monitor in the wire room at all after the minimization as he was scheduled to, became suspicious later in the evening when the VARNER line became active. This was not the only time KHAALIS would leave the wire room for hours at a time. During this investigation KHAALIS would disappear and no one would know his whereabouts. Agents began referring to KHAALIS as “walk about Jones” because it was done so frequently.
At approximately 1700 hours, VARNER received an incoming telephone call advising him to drop his telephone. VARNER in tum called Murdock and told him to do the same with his telephone. S/A Sarhatt listened to the calls on the dropped VARNER line and stated that at approximately 1700 hours, VARNER received an incoming call telling him to drop the phone. This call was only half intercepted (VARNER’s voice only). VARNER makes a comment to the effect “I’m not talking on my flip”. No data about the incoming caller was received.
TFO Broome later reviewed the Pen information on KHAALIS’ telephone and observed that it was very active in the hours following the minimization, during the same hours that KHAALIS was away from the CNT office. TFO Broome discovered that KHAALIS had contact with Kenneth GIBBONS (the same individual who contacted KHAALIS re: MCMILLAR), during the minimization hearing. Due to the number of calls, TFO Broome could not request tolls on all of the numbers to find a link back to the source who notified VARNER to drop his phone. Agents only know that the incident happened and that it was very suspicious; KHAALIS left the wire room and upon his return, VARNER receives a call informing him to drop his cell phone.
On February 13, 2010 KHAALIS was scheduled to work with Agents Harris and Guyer in the wire room as monitors, meaning they were to remain inside the wire room from I700-0200 hours monitoring phone calls. The following is a summary of events that occurred during the monitoring shift between the three agents. This Agent received the information from a typed report submitted by Lt. Smith and statements told to this Agent by Agent M. Delatorre.
Around 2230 hours, a call was intercepted between MURDOCK and a female who had already been identified by the case Agent. The two had planned to meet each within the hour. According to statements made by Agents Guyer and Harris, KHAALIS told them he was going to get something to eat and left the wire room.
A short time later they over heard KHAALIS requesting a marked police vehicle perfonn a traffic stop, via the radio. Agent Guyer contacted ICHAALIS via cell phone and inquired whether or not KHAALIS had spoken with the case Agent in reference to the traffic stop. KHAALIS responded by saying “yes and no” and that he “somewhat” had discussed making a traffic stop with the case Agent. Lt. Smith received a call sometime later from Sgt. Kennedy inquiring as to the probable cm1se for the traffic stop. It was only after Sgt. Kennedy contacted Lt. Smith did KHAALIS inform Lt. Smith he had conducted the traffic stop. According to Lt. Smith, KHAALIS said he had spoken with the case Agent about conducting the stop.
Case Agent M. Delatorre was later asked by Lt. Smith ifKHAALIS had spoken with him in reference to conducting this traffic stop and he said KHAALIS did not speak with him on the matter. KHAALIS has served as not only a monitor but also on surveillance during a Title III investigation and is well aware, no overt actions are taken without the permission of the case Agent.
According to a report submitted by Lt. Smith, KHAALIS was questioned in reference to the traffic stop. KHAALIS admitted that he had not spoken with anyone in reference to the traffic stop and that he was just being “proactive”. Lt. Smith asked KHAALIS why he lied to him on the phone as well as Agent Guyer. KHAALIS could not explain why he lied. When questioned further, KHAALIS still could not explain his actions. Lt. Smith began to insist KHAALIS be transferred from the unit after he admitted he lied. It was at this time Lt. Smith was informed by Director Harris of the investigation involving KHAALIS. This was done in order to keep KHAALIS at CNT in order to keep track of his actions.
During the month of March, 2010, KHAALIS noticed his assigned CNT vehicle had been driven to the CNT office from the county garage. This Agent was present when KHAALIS began inquiring as to who had driven his vehicle from the county garage to the CNT office. This Agent observed KHAALIS conduct a search of the vehicle to include the trunk. KHAALIS hardly drove his assigned CNT vehicle from this point on and, instead drove another CNT vehicle.
On May II, 2010 agents executed multiple search warrants throughout Chatham County, Effingham, Atlanta and California. CNT agents were sent to various locations. KHAALIS was sent to the main location m order for him to be near Lt. Smith. Agent Wood was also sent to this location, since the main suspects were expected to be present. Agent Wood was to download information from each of the suspect’s cell phones. Agent Wood frequently does this and other agents are not to access the phones until he is finished.
