About sometime June 17th, 2016, a Rockwood Ultra Lite, which was attached to a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, Colorado license plate #652QXB, was observed parked at the DEA’s Reno Resident Agency and was being used in undercover operations which are believed to be unauthorized based on the GPS coordinates obtained from GPS device, IMEI #015181004132669, which was installed underneath the vehicle, later revealed unusual travel activity and patterns which were inconsistent with DEA reports and logs for the aforementioned undercover field work.

In fact, GPS logs showed that DEA Special Agent Shane Murray, and others, along with agents from Nevada Gaming Control Board, had entertained non-work related leisure activities, and had visited various casino’s locally, often using their government issued charge cards as the preferred method of payment.

In 2014, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) was obstructed from performing their duty as a result of right-wing interference from within our judicial system, when the United States District Attorney’s Office, Reno, Nevada, failed to cooperate with ATF Special Agents in the handling of federal firearms offenses. As a result, Reno’s DEA have been designated to investigate federal firearms violations in that jurisdiction

In 2014, intelligence obtained by U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s HSI Special Agent Joshua Wood, implicates sworn peace officers within the Carson City Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), and their Associations (Carson City Sheriff’s Supervisory Association, EIN #88–0247377).

This information was brought forth as a result of a separate inquiry into Yuba City Police Department’s involvement in narcotics trafficking, and obstruction of federal law enforcement investigations into the aforesaid.

Moreover, intelligence suggests that CCSO, and others, have built a bridge between nonprofit organizations which are operated and controlled by agency members, using their tax exempt 501 © (5) status to further their criminal enterprise, under the guise of official law enforcement activities which are unauthorized.

The activity described also includes the use of pre-paid government accounts used to finance CCSO’s jail operations inmate phone systems, which are credited funds that are often unaccounted for, and the balance is often adjusted in favor of CCSO, whereby funds are not tracked accordingly, causing discrepancies in the balance sheets which make monies difficult to track, allowing for public officials to use the account as a type of “slush fund.”

This is then used as an opportunity by CCSO staff to move monies around, to and from, different agency linked accounts, and for personal use, placing financial instruments at the disposal of higher-ups within CCSO’s chain-of-command, and other staff possessing the authorization with access to such. Some of the agency accounts are also used to store federal grant funding obtained solely for agency training. Internal CCSO reports obtained by media reflect these accounts are also used frequently to make political contributions that are unreported to the Nevada Secretary of the State, as required by law.

Most recently, there have been complaints from CCSO staff that Furlong had been accepting monetary bribes, and gratuities, in return for his aid to expedite the approval of CCW (concealed carry) handgun permits for non-residents, or out-of-state residents, by waiving the firearms training and background check requirements as set out in Nevada Revised Statute 202.010.

State of Nevada is a shall-issue state, requiring CCW applicants to complete a state approved firearms familiarity training course. There are no restrictions for applicants from out-of-state in obtaining a CCW permit within Nevada, so long as they are not what is considered a “prohibited persons,” and undergo the necessary firearms safety training. Nevada also recognizes CCW permits from outside of Nevada, and has reciprocity with some 24 states.

Because Carson City is the Capital for the State of Nevada, this combination of ongoing illicit activity is especially concerning, as it relates to key sectors of Critical Infrastructure, with Nevada serving as a popular tourist attraction to visitors worldwide.

Soto, since at least sometime 2015, and until the present time, attends unofficial meetings with Furlong, during which the two discuss non-work related business. In the past, Soto and Furlong have met up to socialize at a Nevada brothel, the Chicken Ranch, located at 10511 Homestead Rd., Pahrump, Nevada 89061. Records show that, sometime 2010, an intermediary acquainted with Furlong had sold a pick-up truck, a Red 2001 Ford F-150 VIN # 1FTRW08L41KA21654, to a local -worker employed at the Bunny Ranch, 69 Moonlight Rd., Carson City, Nevada 89706.
