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 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.”
