Agent Wood noticed KHAALIS began grabbing cell phones and was searching through the cell phones. Agent Wood told KHAALIS more than once to “stop” touching the cell phones until he was finished but KHAALIS did not listen. Agent Wood also reported this to Agent M. Delatorre.
On June 3, 2010, DEA Agents executed a search warrant at 1463 East 40’h Street. The day began at the FBI office, where members of the Savannah Metro Internal Affairs unit led by Captain Fagerstrom were briefed on the case. The plan was for Commander Harris to isolate KHAALIS and Agent Gerido in order for them to be questioned by FBI SA Hayes. This Agent was not involved with the interviews but discovered later that Agent Gerido was able to explain his involvement with the surveillance operation on April 16, 2009. SA Hayes accepted the explanation provided by Agent Gerido and he was no longer believed to be a suspect.
According to Lt. Smith, K.HAALIS agreed to speak with SfA Hayes. S/A Hayes did ask KHAALIS questions in reference to his actions on Aprill6, 2009. Hebut was unable to explain his actions. K.HAALIS did not explain many other details as well. KHAALIS was asked if he would submit to a polygraph test and he agreed.
The polygraph was given to KHAALIS days later. KHAALIS failed the polygraph on two main questions. The first question was whether KHAALIS provided information to WILLET during the April 16, 2009 surveillance operation and the second was whether KHAALIS felt he violated his oath of office.
Agent M. Delatorre and other DEA Agents executed the search warrant at James WILLIAMS’ residence in the early morning hours before KHAALIS and Agent Gerido were questioned. Agents located less than an ounce of marijuana from the residence. James WILLIAMS was at work at the time. Smoked marijuana cigarettes were found throughout the residence. Cocaine and marijuana test kits were also found inside the residence. No one was inside the residence.
At a later interview James WILLIAMS denied he was involved in illegal activities. James WILLIAMS told TFO Broome and this Agent he knew ANDERSON. James WILLIAMS admitted that he smoked marijuana at home and ANDERSON would sometimes be present. James WILLIAMS told agents he purchased most of his drugs from John JONES and provided agents with the cell phone number for JONES.
A short time after the interview with James WILLIAMS, TFO Broome along with this Agent met with Capt. Wiley, Lt. Oliver and Sgt. Thompson of the Internal Affairs unit. Hours were spent going over the large amounts of information.
In short, CNT Intel Agent Wood, Agent P. Delatorre, Agent M. Delatorre, CNT Lt. Smith, DEA S/A Sarhatt, DEA TFO Broome, and two additional CNT agents whose names will not be disclosed but responded to the FBI office and who all have worked closely beside KHAALIS, have at some point independently stepped forward and approached supervisors of their suspicions of KHAALIS based on his behavior and actions. This investigation was compromised from the start, since KHAALIS was well aware fwm the beginning. KHAALIS had plenty of time to not only insulate himself but others involved in the conspiracy. KHAALIS first heard of this information in June of 2008 when this Agent first spoke with SOl I and discussed the information with KHAALIS.
US Attorney Jim Durham along with the FBI has since discussed this case with Chief Lovett and explained to him the US government will not prosecute any case which names KHAALIS as a witness due to GIGLIO issues. The Chatham County District Attorney has also been told the same information.
As of August 2010, KHAALIS has been returned to full duty. While on suspension, KHAALIS was able to take the Sergeant’s test and he is currently in the running for promotion to the rank o f sergeant. Agents have no idea how many CNT investigations if any were compromised during the time KHAALIS was assigned to the unit.
On August 31, 2010, Lt. Smith informed this Agent, KHAALIS was believed to communicating with other CNT Agents as he was trying to obtain information provided in this report. According to Lt. Smith, KHAALIS contacted Agent Lang on August 30, 20I0 and wanted to know the type of items listed in this report. Agent Lang told KHAALIS he did not have any information on the contents of the report.
On September 2, 20I0, Commander Harris spoke with the Major Case Unit and then the remainder of CNT personnel at a different time. Commander Harris informed Agents, the investigation into KHAALIS was still on-going. Commander Harris informed Agents he did not want Agents to have contact with KHAALIS while on-duty. Commander Banis also recommended Agents not speak with KHAALIS off-duty as well.
Within 1 hour of this meeting KHAALIS contacted Agent Epley via cell phone. KHAALIS asked Epley if it was true that Agents were told not to have any contact with him. Agent Epley quickly informed Lt. Smith of this contact.
