STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE:

Within t1e past ten days, I was con tacted by cJ connden tial a nd reliable inforrnanl, l1ereaftcr referred to as "X" for th e purpose
of this afficlavil X staled X was awaro of a sub1ect who sold mel11f1mpi1etam i11 e from 27230 Jerome Street in Boron,
California. X told me X knows \he subject as YOLANDA. X described YOU\NDA as a heavy set while female with brown hair
and green eyes. approximc:itely 5'05". X told rnn X had Pl rclmsed rnethamphetam!ne from YOLANDA in the p<.ist.
Throughout my experience willl subjects in lJoron. I beheve the st1bjoct X was referrin~J to w<-ls YOLANDA KALINA . I ran a
record c:heck on YOLANDA l~AUN A wl o matcl1ed the <.fescription X provrdnd . I Dm 3lso aware YOLANDA K/\LINA m;,y c:ilso
be called YOLANDA l{O S . I havo a lso seen l<ALINA, and deputies have contcicted her at 2"1230 Jerome SI.reel. f\ALINA
has also listed 21230 Jem111e Street as l"1r address when 111ak1ny reports. X stated X was capable or purr.he ing
111ellic1111plM<:11111ne fro111 Uu.:J st1b1ects <i i 27230 Je1't)lll<:: St1e11L

I supplied X with Mojave/Boron Substation funcls with which to purcll~ise rnetharnphetarn inc frorn lhe resiclence at 2"1230
Jerolll e Street.
X 's person ancl proper'ty was searched for narcotics andior contrntJand witr1 negative resultf;. ln addition to the above
Statement of Probable Cause, additional information is included in Attachment "B". I respectfully request that the
111

Attnchnrnnt "B" be sealed pursuant to people vs Janet Marie Hobbs (1994) 7.C.4 948.

I desire to keep the identity of X confidential beca11se I belie ve l11al lhe clisclosur of his/hm ic!ontity would c11d21nr;er his/Iler
safety and wollboinr,J. In rny trainin~J and experienc:e i11forrnanls ng-~fjecl 1n m1rcot1cs invc)stigations l1ave been seriously

enforcement officers c1 l~F'gecl in investigat1n~J and u11coveri11g lllc:gal activities.
13;;1sccl on the fact~; co1llained in this Statement of Probable Cause, and rny trai11i11g ancl experience, I beli~wo the prevmusly
c!esci-ibed c;videnco is indicative of methamphetamine trafficl<ing , as well as, currency derived from rnotl1a;nphetamin. ~1<.1les
will r)e found in the loccitio11s ;:111cl vehicles to be sea1ched. I also have seen l<ALIN,\ driving a 1998 black r-:ord truc:k,

California liccmse plate 5Z1 121 i, on several occasions and I have seen the vehicle parked outside of 27230 .Jerome Street
on multiple occasions
It is also my belief U1at ihe prnviously described items, which 1..vill identify those parties in contrnl of t11e premises in wllich
:llogal controlled sur)slancos may !Je found. will be located on the premises to be sec:1rched .
I a111 aware. from past training ancl experience, that persons who trarfrc in narcotics. 1e1y heavily on the11 t<~lepl1one(s), cellular

qranted nernilssion 10 answer and log all incoming 1elepl1one, cellular t lepho110(s ). paqer(s) calls to the residence to be-;
searched . wllich are narcolics re lated. Officers are also authoriLed to 1non tor and docurnent/recorcl any telephof'l;c clrus
rel;:i ted conversulfons a1 rc.J search all cellular phone <.la a that is stored on 1t1e pl one m on a removable memory card . To

or calls, i11bounci <:ind outbound text rnessaging, digital photograph images , voice rm1il recordings, 21nd internet llistory.
l~ilc~pho10( s)

Based on my training and experience. I 1<11ow lhat people involved in comrollecl substance lrans;;ictions use computers,
electronic ciata stora~Je c;evices, ancl cell pho1~es lo maintain notes 01 co1tro1led substance purchases, lists of buyors and
sellers of controlled substances as well as records o f arnounls poid and owed for vevious and/or future controlled subs:ance
t1a11sactions ,
I also knoN that such device~ can contain password protection to hicJe this info rmation frorn others, including law
enforcernent, a1ic! uncovering this evidence rnay require l<JW enforcement to further snarci1 these items once re110vAc: from
the search scone.
I request tile seizme of these iierns, if found, c:ind authority lo sesrcl1 tr1e~n ror evidence re lalecl to controlled subslanc;e
trnfficf<ing by svvorn ancl/or non-sworn personnel.
Based on U'o facts contain eel in lhis Statement of Prob::1ble Cause. and my training ancl experience, I believe porlino11t
tolepl1one numbr~rs and contact infOl'rnation will be recovered from the cellular telephone or telephones that could tJe located
and seized during this investigation. It is also my belief that the :lreviously described items 1,ovill ic!entiry ti10se who are coconspirators involved in the trafficking of methamphetamirie .
I request the seizure of tl10s0 items, if found, and autllol'ity to search thorn for ovidc,nce relatod to controlled substance
trafficki11g by swom C111dio1 11on-sworn pc.,rno1111el.
It t1as bcnn rry past lrDining and expc)rionce subjC:Jcts who traffic in narcotics will not only transport their narcolics in thr'lir
vcd1icles, but will also conceal their narcotics in tlleir vehicles . Subjects who traffic in narcotics will also conceal other related
incl icia used in t11eir narcotic t1afficking in ti1eir vehicles, ami for this reasori I arn requc;stin~J to search t110 aforementioned
vel1icles ,
BasecJ on my knowledge <:ts a Deputy .:a10riff, narcotics cl alers usu we pons lo pmtecl their narcotics fror 'l persons wrio t1y tc

enforcement officers who attempt to inv0sllgaw c;rirnlnal aclrvities in votvin~J tllern . Also based on my training and oxpcriencfj.
know l'arcotics dealers, users, and manufacturers of controlled sul)Stan es ortcn carry firearms concealecJ on their persoi~ 01
sec1ote firnrnrns in easily i:lCcossible places lo themselves, 1nclt1dinfJ llandgtJns, sl1otguns, ancJ automatic weapons.

I l~now it is common for these subjects to carry weapons, narcotics, and paraphernalia on their person . For officer safety, I
request any subjects at tt1e residence al the tiine of the search warrant be detained and searched for weapons, narcotics. and
paraphernalia .
I am requesting this search warrant in order to find any additional evidence that may be used to successfully investigate this
crime I ask the court per mission to enter and search the residence and vehicle(s) and seize any and all items located that
may offer evidentiary value.
I pray t11al a Search Warrant be issued based upon the aforementioned facts, for the seizure of said property, or any part
