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.

In 2016, Confidential Informant Jeremy Nuckles named DCSO Sheriff Daniel Coverly among a coalition of Nevada peace officers involved in the scheme, using non-profit charitable organizations, and other police associations for money laundering purposes. The organizations in question all seem to be using credit unions for banking, as such are not regulated by the Federal Reserve, thus, have a much different entity structure and function.

This has been confirmed by correctional intelligence, including interviews conducted off-record with other inmates whom were housed at ESP, including Jose M. Vigoa, NDOC offender ID #73847, a Cuban-born career criminal, and mastermind, who was housed in “administrative segregation” located in Phase I of the ESP facility, and confirmed his knowledge of the vast drug trafficking network, and involvement of public officials in what can best be described as “racketeering activity.”

A member of the “Aryan Warriors,” Brandon D. Allan, NDOC offender #65839, who was serving a life sentence at Ely State Maximum Security Prison (ESP) for the gruesome murder of his girlfriend on October 22nd of 1999, before being recently paroled, served as a Confidential Informant (CI) for NDOC’s CERT. It was due to Allan’s work as a CI that he obtained preferential treatment while also housed in “administrative segregation” at ESP, where he was later assigned to Unit 8 as a trustee.

Additional correctional intelligence obtained by CERT revealed there is a strong link between the “Aryan Warriors,” “Surenos,” and “Mexican Mafia’s” Arizona chapter, when investigators intercepted telephone communications of validated Mexican Mafia members Anthony Marin, Arizona DOC #171573, and Moreno Arthur, DOC #173690, who had referred to “Aryan Warrior” members during outbound phone conversations by the nicknames “Dot,” and “Coco,” while discussing the logistics for a narcotics trafficking operation.

Allan received preferential treatment, to the point that lower ranking Correctional Officers were coerced by higher ranking NDOC personnel in their chain-of-command, and dissuaded staff from disciplining Allan due to his unofficial involvement with Correctional higher-ups. In 2016, under the discretion of Warden Renee Baker, and Correctional Sergeant Timothy Jones, a report number was generated within NDOC’s internal computer system, for which a report was never completed as a result of the aforementioned activities. The report number was assigned by day-shift Sergeant Erik Mauerer, and was a direct result of an incident involving a Correctional Officer Trainee, whom Allan had threatened during a cell search that had ensued after a gang related altercation within housing Unit 8.

A monitoring of ESP’s inmate telephone systems by Senior Correctional Officer Hal Hollingsworth also corroborated that there is a pattern of misconduct under color of law among public officials in Nevada. Associate Warden Jerry Howell, of NDOC High Desert State Prison, received numerous complaints of correctional staff misconduct at various NDOC locations throughout Nevada, involving either drug use, and/or trafficking, falsifying state documents, and suppressing witnesses by deliberately relocating inmates to different facilities during audits and internal investigations.

These complaints where also forwarded to former Governor Brian Sandoval, who dismissed the cases as “frivolous.”

Wilber Ernesto Martinez-Guzman, a Salvadoran migrant later accused of four murders which occurred during a six-day time frame, and in the Northern Nevada area, Douglas County and Washoe County, began working closely with Reno’s DEA, and the WCSO narcotics task-force, sometime 2019, and provided investigators with names of Reno city officials whom had purchased methamphetamine from the same source as Martinez-Guzman.

Hospital records at Reno’s Renown Regional Medical Center confirm Martinez-Guzman had in fact visited the medical facility under the discretion of Reno’s DEA Special Agent Kareen Rossi, who would visit Renown, and Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center often, and would identify herself to hospital staff as being with the DEA’s Diversion Control Division. Though it’s been rumored and never confirmed, Rossi is believed to be a material witness to an organized “hit” on CCSO Deputy Carl Howell, who was gunned down August, 2015 while responding to a domestic violence call.

A Rockwood Ultra Lite, which was attached to a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. Colorado license plate #652QXB, was parked at the DEA’s Reno Resident Agency, located at 8790 Double Diamond Pkwy, sometime about June 17th, 2016, and was being used in undercover operations which are believed to be unauthorized based on the GPS coordinates obtained from a GPS device 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.

Recent intelligence obtained by law enforcement suggest that that high-ranking members of the “Aryan Warriors” are working closely with Nevada public officials, and doing so in an effort to launder drug proceeds for the Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs). The drug operation is elaborate, controlled by the Mexican Mafia, and other street gangs which profit from drug distribution. Street gangs previously known to be rivals are collaborating in their drug trafficking efforts.

The multi-jurisdictional operation involves public officials from various sectors, including Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC), Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP), Carson City Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Nevada Gaming Control Board, City of Reno, United States Bureau of Reclamation (Hoover Dam, Boulder City, NV), and spans across state lines to California Highway Patrol (Barstow, California), and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department (SBSD).

Correctional intelligence has confirmed a strong link between the “Aryan Warriors” and Hispanic gangs, including the “Surenos,” after intercepting coded written communications between members of the “Aryan Warriors.” (Correctional Intelligence Task Force Bulletin Number: 2016–10- 06-GK)

Investigators with NDOC’s Correctional Emergency Response Team (CERT) received a report that members of “Aryan Warriors” are working with state and local officials, including Carson City Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) staff, more specifically Sheriff Ken Furlong, with the “Aryan Warriors” providing officers intelligence for unauthorized law enforcement activities related to structured cash deposits of drug proceeds, including those made to the Bank of Nevada, and the Greater Nevada Credit Union.

The intelligence is then unlawfully disseminated by public officials; to obstruct, dissuade, and hinder authorized federal law enforcement activities within their respective jurisdictions locally. Statements from Jeremy Kenneth Nuckles, NDOC offender #53628, during a 2016 interview with FBI Special Agents unnamed, revealed Nuckles’ work as a Confidential Informant (CI), and “enforcer,” for State of Nevada investigators, including NDOC’s Inspector General (IG), and other LEOs at the local and county levels, including Washoe County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO), Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO), and the Carson City Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), and that Nuckles had received payments from investigators since 2005, of bulk cash obtained from asset forfeitures which were either never properly logged into evidence, or from bulk cash seizures checked-out of evidence under a false pretense.

In exchange for work as a CI, Nuckles also obtained intelligence from LEOs locally on federal law enforcement activities in the area, and surrounding the 2007 indictment of 14 defendants belonging to the “Aryan Warriors,” which Nuckles has been a member of since 2005. Being an active and validated member of “Aryan Warriors,” Nuckles managed to stay-off the federal governments “radar.”

In turn, LEO officers would access the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) to conduct research for Nuckles, which would further criminal activities, either to obtain property for personal gain (ex. firearms), or license plate numbers which were then used as leads, or targets, to the narcotics trafficking activities, whereby, innocent persons are targeted as unwitting accessories, or what is also known as a “blind mouse,” or “blind mule,” to the drug conspiracy.

Conversely, subjects who were not volunteer drug traffickers, nor selected to be used as “blind mice,” where coerced by the aforementioned LEOs, that is, subjects who are active criminals make for an easy target of extortion due to their affiliation with street crime, as for example is the case with many CIs.

During Nuckles’ incarceration at Nevada’s High Desert State Prison facility, Nuckles was ordered, by actors unknown, to carry out a
