Joseph MEDLOCK (aka "POOCHIE")
Leroy CHISHOLM (aka "FATS")
Leonard Anthony KENNEDY (aka "NARD")
Ernest Antonio EDWARDS (aka "NUTZ", "BO", "BO BIZZLE")
Rashawn Ahamd STEWART (aka"BLACK","BLACK MAGIC","SPOT","SMOKE")
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 s e i z ~ e ~ 23 kilo grams of cocaine, roughly 10 pounds of marijuana, 1 0 firearms,
4 ~ \ . LL
Judge's initials Agent's Initials Y-J
and over $300,000.00 in U.S. 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 of which 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 Affiant's 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 Affiant's 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 billing/rental 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
Judge's initials ~ Agent's Initial
since he came to the Affiant's 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 Affiant's 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 State's 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 "1\fard" was identified as a co
conspirator 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
Judge's initials
6
Agent's Initial
Controlled Substance Act on November 28,2012. 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 of Crack 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 SCARBOROUGH's name along with additional identifYing personal information. The listed
address for SCARBOROUGH is 1119 East 6ih Street Savannah, Georgia.
An Analysis of KENNEDY's wiretap for (912) 272-2706, Target Telephone 6, revealed
SCARBOROUGH's cellular number (912) 373-4075, was in contact with KENNEDY's phone
a total of157 times from March 23,2012 to April 19, 2012 (lst authorization period) and a total
of 138 times from April 26, 2012 to May 21, 2012 (2
nd
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 KENNEDY's 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
SCARBOROUGH's role through jail video.
In January, 2013, this agent subpoenaed Chatham County Detention Center jail records,
phone calls and jail visitation audio/video for individuals arrested for the current investigation.
Amongst the requested documents and audio/video was Leonard Anthony KENNEDY's
information from two arrests, August 13,2012 and November 29,2012. An initial review of
KENNEDY's jail phone calls and jail visitation audio/video 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
providing/aiding KENNEDY. Your affiant reviewed several Chatham County jail visitation
videos and phone calls between SCARBOROUGH and KENNEDY.
Judge's initials 7 Agent's n i t i a l ~
SCARBOROUGH is a Chatham County employee who works in the Superior Court of
Chatham County administrative offices. SCARBOROUGH's position allows her to have access
to Chatham County Detention Center data bases (Phoenix) which stores an inmate's 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 co
conspirator KENNEDY. By her own admittance, SCARBOROUGH attempted to obtain these
documents shortly after KENNEDY's arrest on August 13,2012. SCARBOROUGH contacted
Captain Clifford from the Garden City Police Department, Garden City, Georgia for the
documents. From the audio/video, it appears to your affiant that SCARBOROUGH's 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,
KENNEDY's 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 KENNEDY's case. What SCARBOROUGH didn't 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 if SCARBOROUGH 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 SCARBOROUGH's 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
KENNEDY's 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
SCARBOROUGH's request. SCARBOROUGH accessed Chatham County Jail data base,
Phoenix, and reviewed the data entries for KENNEDY. SCARBOROUGH viewed
KENNEDY's visitor log and would later question KENNEDY about his visitors. The visitor
log records visitor's 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
,. "1 j;}--- A' " l ~ A 8
Jd u ge s lnltIa s gent's mtta s ~
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 3,2012, 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, I'm calling you to let you know that they gonna come
get your ass, andyou cOlildn't 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
Affiant's belief that SCARBOROUGH is referencing her attempt to aid/abet KENNEDY prior
to his arrest on November 29,2012.
SCARBOROUGH's attempts to warn KENNEDY of his imminent arrest may have
placed officer's 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 SCARBOROUGH's attempt to warn KENNEDY, this agent identified
SCARBOROUGH's 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 SCARBOROUGH's 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 2/2111979, no address listed. This phone
has been active since July 23,2012.
KENNEDY was arrested on August 13, 2012 and was bonded out on September 26,
2012, his next arrest didn't occur until November 29,2012. 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 13,2012
arrest. ROBERSON also had KENNEDY's old cellular number (912) 272-2706 (Target
Telephone 6) also listed under (tNard" but with an older picture of KENNEDY.
This agent analyzed SCARBOROUGH's historical toll data and located KENNEDY's
Judge's irritials a 9 Agent's InitialU
cellular number (912) 414-4803. SCARBOROUGH utilizing cellular number (912) 224-2655
placed an outgoing call to KENNEDY's (912) 414-4803 on November 29,2012 at 12:50 am; the
call appeared to be unanswered. At 6:29 am, November 29,2012, 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 SCARBOROUGH's statement
that she called KENNEDY to warn him of his imminent arrest, but he didn't 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 67
th
Street Savannah, Georgia, and is also utilizing or has utilized cellular telephone
numbers (912) 373-4075 and (912) 224-2655.
Based on the above information, Affiant respectfully submits that probable cause exists to
believe that evidence relevant to the offense of Attempt or Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled
Substance along with previously stated documents exists inside 1119 East 6ih Street Savannah,
Georgia and SCARBOROUGH's desk/workstation located on the third floor ofthe Chatham County
Courthouse, 133 Montgomery Street Savannah Georgia.
Affiant believes that probable cause exists for the issuance ofa search warrant authorizing the
search of the aforementioned residence/curtiledge 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 p a c ~ e ~ u t may be again. Also items used in the preparation or packaging, i.e.
10 ~ A__
Judge's initial . Agent's Initials~
scales, heat sealers, are often stored in their original packaging or kept long after their initial and
last time use awaiting further necessity. Narcotics are transported and shipped into areas for
distribution by several means some identified and some not. Many times these narcotics are
shipped by the USPS, Fed Ex, UPS, or other means. These items are regularly tracked for
delivery dates and times and often the tracking numbers or electronic receipts are stored on smart
phones, computers, or handwritten and printed. Very often, your Affiant has found that these
items are located during search warrants long after the date items would have been shipped.
Your Affiant has also noted that many persons involved in the distribution and purchase of illegal
narcotics maintain ledgers of monies owed, monies paid, and lists of coconspirators to whom
they have dealt with during their illicit activities.
Your Affiant is a POST certified peace officer employed full time with the Savannah
Chatham Metropolitan Police Department (SCMPD) and have been so employed for more than 10
years, holds the rank ofofficer, and have been assigned to the Chatham Savannah Counter Narcotics
Team (hereinafter "CNT"), as a narcotics agent for 4 years. Your Affiant has experience in narcotics
investigation and enforcement through Affiant's work as a Narcotics Agent working with the CNT.
Further, your Affiant has been assigned to the SCMPD Criminal Investigations Division as a robbery
and burglary detective. As a detective your Affiant has conducted numerous robbery and property
criminal investigations and prepared cases for the District Attorney's Office for prosecution. Your
Affiant has prepared and executed numerous search warrants for robbery, burglary and narcotics
investigations which resulted in the recovery of thousands of dollars in stolen property, narcotics,
money, firearms, recovery ofevidence specific to target investigations and arrests. Your Affiant has
planned and executed narcotics operations to include surveillance operations, search warrant
operations, arrest operations and controlled buy operations. Your Affiant has participated in three
