On July 11th, 2025, the State Bureau of Investigations was informed of the events that occured on July

was assigned to investigate.
Attached with the information of the events was Exhibit A. This exhibit is a film recorded by
ArthurSprings on July 4th, 2025. In this video, Trooper ArthurSprings of the State Police and other
Troopers are seen inside of the State Police garage with Defendant Arontelopnde in cuffs. Throughout
the video, ArthurSprings is seen executing the search warrant on the Defendant’s vehicles. He is seen
seizing thirty-one (31) Stetson M2-As from a gray Gridlock owned by the Defendant. Later in the video,
ArthurSprings searches another gray Gridlock owned by the Defendant where another two (2) Stetson
M2-As are found. Throughout the video, there are numerous shootings and bombings outside of the
State Police garage and inside of the station. Near the end of the video, it is seen that the Defendant dies
in custody of the Ridgeway State Police and was never arrested for the items found in their vehicle.
Attached with the information of the events was Exhibit B. This exhibit is a document created by
ArthurSprings on July 4th, 2025. In this document, it shows the receipt of goods found during the
execution of the search warrant on Arontelopnde’s person and vehicles. This document accurately
describes the items found during the search on July 4th, 2025.
Exhibit C is a film that contains an interview between ArthurSprings and your affiant regarding the July
4th, 2025 search warrant. In this interview, ArthurSprings stated that he was conducting a search warrant
on Arontelopnde. At the time of the search, the Defendant did possess a valid Ridgeway Firearm
License Identification (RFLID). ArthurSprings confirmed that he found a total of thirty-five (35) Stetson
M2-As, and one hundred (100) boxes of 5.56 ammunition. ArthurSprings also stated that upon
conclusion of the search, the Defendant was not arrested for the items found in his possession because
they were killed in custody. Furthermore, he confirmed that he wrote Exhibit B and that it is a true and
accurate document.

counts of 5 R.S.C § 01 Unlawful Possession of a Firearm for possessing thirty-five (35) Stetson M2-As,
which were sourced from an illegal dealer. Furthermore, your affiant finds sufficient probable cause that
Arontelopnde committed one (1) count of 5 R.S.C § 02 Unlawful Possession of Firearms with Intent to
Sell for being in possession of ten (10) or more firearms which are unlawful for the Defendant to be in
possession of.
