Holt, being duly sworn, do hereby state that I am an Investigator with the District 21 District Attorney's Office, having been so employed since July, 2008. During my time with the District Attorney's Task Force I have been assigned to the Investigations Division. I am currently on a special assignment as a Task Force Officer with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and have been so since July, 2008. Prior to my employment with the District 21 District Attorney's Office, I was employed as a Senior Probation and Parole Officer with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections from September 2005 through June 2008. During my tenure as a probation and parole officer, I attended the Oklahoma Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training Basic Peace Officer Academy, also referred to as C.L.E.E.T., and subsequently earned my license as a certified peace officer for the State of Oklahoma. 2. During my employment in law enforcement, I have received training, and conducted investigations, related to illicit drugs, and the distribution of illicit drugs, in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Sections 841(a)(1), 843(b), 846, and others. I have participated in many aspects of drug investigations including the following: undercover operations; surveillance; search warrants; arrests; reviewing taped conversations and drug records; and debriefing defendants, informants, and witnesses who had personal knowledge regarding major narcotics trafficking organizations. 3.

My knowledge of infonnation contained in this affidavit is from my direct participation and discussions with other agents directly involved in this investigation. The facts contained in this affidavit are offered to establish probable cause, and do not represent every fact known to myself or other participating agents. 4. In August of 2012, agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration Oklahoma City District Office (OCDO) initiated an investigation into a heroin drug trafficking organization operating in South Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. During the course of this investigation, agents identified Anna GALVAN as a leader within the organization who was directly responsible for the distribution, facilitation, and coordination of heroin in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Anna GALVAN was previously identified in an earlier investigation in which Miseal GARCIA, the father of her child, was arrested and subsequently convicted for conspiracy to distribute heroin following the discovery of more than 600 grams of black tar heroin in the residence occupied by Anna GALVAN and Miseal GARCIA. 5. On April 25 t \ 2013, agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration and officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department Santa Fe IMPACT Unit executed a search warrant at 321 S.E. 25 th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 740 Santa Rosa Drive, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and 1202 S.W. 74 th Street Apartment 262, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. These residences were identified as residences associated with the Anna GALVAN heroin drug trafficking organization (DTO) operating in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. On April 24 th , 2013, TFO Jere Holt applied for and was granted search warrants for 321 S.E. 25 th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 740 Santa Rosa Drive, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and 1202 S.W. 74 th Street Apartment 262, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 2228 S.W. 13i h Place, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, by the Honorable Cindy Case 5:13-mj-00239-SM Document 1 Filed 04/25/13 Page 3 of 12 Troung, District Judge for Oklahoma County.

During the execution of these search warrants agents detained Anna GAL VAN and Jesus GUTIERREZ-ZAZUETA at 321 S.E. 25 th 25 th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Luis LEON-SANCHEZ at 321 S.E. Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Omar COTA-SANCHEZ and Jesus LEON-SANCHEZ at 1202 S.W. 74 th Street Apartment 262, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 7. During the search of 321 S.E. 25 th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma agents discovered in excess of 150 grams of a black tar substance suspected to be heroin, ledgers, and the cellular telephone agents previously identified as the dispatch phone utilized to take orders from heroin users. Agents also discovered a .22 caliber semi-automatic pistol and a Bushmaster AR-15 Semi Automatic Rifle. The Bushmaster AR-15 semi-automatic rifle was discovered in the trunk of a green Dodge Intrepid with the suspected heroin. During the search of 1202 S. W. 74 th Street Apartment 262, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, agents discovered 182 multi-colored balloons containing a black tar like substance of suspected heroin, a ballistic vest, a digital scale, and multiple empty multi-colored balloons.

During a post Miranda interview with Anna GALVAN, GALVAN stated she obtains 12-20 pieces of heroin approximately two times per month from Las Vegas, Nevada and has done so for the past eight to nine months. GALV AN defined a "piece" as weighing approximately 25 grams. GALVAN stated she and Jesus GUTIERREZ-ZAZUETA were recently married approximately one week ago in Oklahoma County. GALVAN identified a photograph of Jesus LEON-SANCHEZ as "Jose" and stated he was responsible for storing heroin and had recently stored approximately seven "pieces" of heroin at her residence located at 25 th 321 S.E. Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at her request. GALVAN identified a photograph of Omar CATO-SANCHEZ as "Omar" and stated he was responsible for delivering heroin to heroin users after the users contacted the dispatch number. GALVAN identified a photograph of Luis LEON-SANCHEZ as "Jose" and stated he was responsible for answering the dispatch phone heroin customers placing their orders and would advise Omar CATO-SANCHEZ about where to meet the heroin customer. GALV AN stated she paid Luis LEON-SANCHEZ $150.00 per day for answering the dispatch phone, Omar CATO SANCHEZ $150.00 per day for delivering heroin to heroin customers, and paid Jesus LEON SANCHEZ $100 per day for overseeing the storage of the heroin. GALVAN stated she paid the 25 th rent and bills at 740 Santa Rosa Drive, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 321 S.E. Street, 74 th Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and 1202 S.W. Street Apartment 262, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. When the Springfield .45 semi-automatic pistol was discovered, Jesus GUTIERREZ-ZAZUETA made an utterance and stated the firearm belonged to him. Case 5:13-mj-00239-SM Document 1 Filed 04/25/13 Page 5 of 12 9. During a post Miranda interview with Luis LEON-SANCHEZ, LEON-SANCHEZ stated he was recruited to be a heroin dispatcher by "Jube" a.k.a. Jesus GUTIERREZ ZAZUETA, in January of 2013. Luis LEON-SANCHEZ stated he was taught how to answer the phone and fill heroin customer's orders by GALVAN. Luis LEON-SANCHEZ stated GALVAN and Jesus GUTIERREZ-ZAZUETA instructed him on the price of a small balloon of heroin as $40.00 and a big balloon of heroin as $80.00. From your affiants training, experience and knowledge of this investigation, a "small" is coded language used to describe .2 grams of heroin and a "big" is coded language used to describe .4 grams of heroin. Luis LEON SANCHEZ stated GALVAN paid him $100.00 per day for answering the dispatch phone and paid his rent and bills at 321 S.E. 25 th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 10. During a post Miranda interview with Omar CATO-SANCHEZ, CATO-SANCHEZ stated he was a delivery driver for Anna GALVAN and was recruited by Jesus LEON SANCHEZ. CATO-SANCHEZ stated he delivered heroin approximately 8-10 times per day for the last ten days. CATO-SANCHEZ stated he stayed at 1202 S.W. 74th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with Jesus LEON-SANCHEZ which is where he would take the proceeds from the heroin sales to following his deliveries. CATO-SANCHEZ stated he was paid $80.00 per day at Anna GALVAN's direction. 11. During a post Miranda interview with Jesus LEON-SANCHEZ, Jesus LEON SANCHEZ stated he was recruited to deliver heroin by Jesus GUTIERREZ-ZAZUETA who Jesus LEON-SANCHEZ knows as Anna GAL V AN's husband. Jesus LEON-SANCHEZ stated he was given a vehicle by Jesus GUTIERREZ-ZAZUETA approximately three weeks ago and was paid $100.00 per day to safeguard GALVAN's heroin. Jesus LEON-SANCHEZ stated approximately one week ago he was given a bag containing heroin by GALVAN and Case 5:13-mj-00239-SM Document 1 Filed 04/25/13 Page 6 of 12 instructed to hide the heroin. Jesus LEON-SANCHEZ stated he stored the heroin in the trunk of a green car behind the residence of321 S.E. 25 th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 12. In summary, based upon my training and experience as a law enforcement officer, and the above mentioned facts, I submit there is probable cause to believe that Anna GALVAN, Luis LEON-SANCHEZ, Jesus GUTIERREZ-ZAZUETA, Omar COTA-SANCHEZ, and Jesus LEON SANCHEZ conspired to possess with intent to distribute 100 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of heroin, a Schedule I controlled substance, in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Section 846.
