IN THE SUPERIOR COURT
FOR THE
STATE OF RIDGEWAY
THE STATE OF RIDGEWAY,
Plaintiff,
v.
VXFPRRR,
Defendant.
Docket No. ______
AFFIDAVIT OF PROBABLE CAUSE
I, Corporal c4j2y, acknowledge that this is a statement made in support of the summons
or arrest warrant of vxfprrr, pursuant to Rid. R. Crim. P. 3(f)(2). The facts and information in this
statement are based upon my training, experience, participation in investigations, personal
knowledge and observations, and the observation of other investigators involved in this
investigation. This statement contains the information necessary to support probable cause for
criminal information and is not intended to include every fact and matter observed by me.
I. INTRODUCTION
1. I am a Corporal with the Ridgeway County Sheriff’s Office, and I have been employed as
such since 03/25/2026.
2. I have been a certified police officer through the Law Enforcement Training Center since
2/25/2026, and have received training on identifying probable cause.
3. Based on the information and evidence gathered during the course of this investigation, I
have probable cause to believe that vxfprrr has committed the following offenses:
a. R.C.C. § 5.02 - Unlawful possession of firearms with intent to sell;
1
b. R.C.C. § 5.08(b) - Unlawful stockpile of government-issued equipment;
II. PROBABLE CAUSE
4. On 4/19/2026, 2026, I received authorization by Chief Judge Arthur_Chen to execute a
judicial search warrant against the defendant after I had personally applied for one based
on a tip sent to me by an informant.
5. On 4/24/2026, while on routine patrol, I spotted the defendant inside the Sterling Car
Dealership purchasing vehicles and took them into custody, transporting them to the
Ridgeway County Sheriff’s Office Headquarters. I then executed the search warrant in
accordance with State law and department policy.
6. During the search of all vehicles belonging to the defendant, I discovered numerous
quantities of firearms, ammunition, and government-issued equipment:
a. x282 Stetson M2-A rifles;
b. x50 units of 5.56 ammunition;
c. x64 Stetson M1-A rifles;
d. x4 TB26 tasers;
e. x15 Radios;
f. x2 .50 BMG ammunition;
g. x1 Centennial 700 sniper rifle;
h. x1 PI .50 BMG ammunition;
i. x1 Rochester 90 submachine gun;
j. x2 Stetson Cardiac-5 submachine gun;
k. x1 Stetson M2-M;
2
7. During the search, I requested that an RCSO supervisor revoke the defendant’s RFLID,
as the defendant was unlawfully in possession of a Stetson M2‑A at the time of
apprehension, and I was not authorized to revoke the license myself. As a result, the
defendant was no longer permitted to have custody or control of any firearms or
ammunition.
8. Due to the suspect having more than 10 firearms and ammunition combined, I have
reason to believe the defendant is in violation of R.C.C. § 5.02.
III. STATUTORY DEFINITIONS
9. R.C.C. § 5.02 - Unlawful possession of firearms with intent to sell is defined by State law
as any person who possesses a combined ten or more firearms or ammunition which are
illegal for that person to be in possession of:
a. During the execution of the lawfully authorized search warrant, I recovered
approximately 349 firearms and approximately 53 units of various ammunition
spread across the defendant’s person, vehicles, and property.
b. Based on my training and experience, and records available to me at the time, the
defendant did not possess a valid RFLID or Automatic Firearms License (AFL)
and was therefore not legally authorized to possess any firearm.
c. The quantity of firearms recovered—well in excess of the statutory threshold of
ten—combined with the defendant’s lack of lawful authorization, demonstrates
that the defendant knowingly stockpiled illegal firearms.
d. Accordingly, there is probable cause to believe the defendant unlawfully
possessed ten or more illegal firearms in violation of R.C.C. § 5.02.
3
10. R.C.C. § 5.08(b) - Unlawful stockpile of government-issued equipment is defined by
State law as any person who possesses 10 or more pieces of government-issued
equipment in any off-duty or civilian storage device, capacity, or other inventory, when
that possession is not authorized by State law or departmental policy.
a. During the execution of the search warrant, I recovered approximately 4 tasers, 15
radios, a Centennial 700 sniper rifle, along with one unit of PI .50 BMG
ammunition.
b. These items are unique to law enforcement only. Specifically, they cannot be
taken from anywhere other than a government entity, such as the RCSO
Headquarters, while on the RCSO team.
c. These items were found within civilian storage, including personal cars, a home,
and person.
d. The defendant is not an employee of the government. Based on information
available to me, the defendant does not have any authorization to possess any of
these items in a civilian storage capacity.
e. The quantity of items recovered—well in excess of the statutory threshold of
ten—combined with the defendant’s lack of lawful authorization, demonstrates
that the defendant knowingly stockpiled illegal firearms.
