PROBABLE CAUSE STATEMENT
Date Written SEPTEMBER 28, 2023
Supporting the Case of STATE OF RIDGEWAY V. EV_ANSX
I, e_lzu, being duly sworn, state as follows:
INTRODUCTION AND OFFICER BACKGROUND
[1] I am a Lieutenant in the Ridgeway County Sheriff’s Office and the Chief Detective of the Criminal
Investigations Division (hereinafter “CID”). As a law enforcement officer, I am empowered to conduct investigations.
[2] I have been employed with the Sheriff’s Office since 25th December 2020. I have been a Detective with the
CID since March 12th, 2022.
[3] During my tenure as a patrol deputy, I gained extensive knowledge and experience in field investigations as
well as major organized crime. At the time of my assignment to the CID, I was further trained in investigative
procedures. Since then, I have worked in numerous investigations and operations pertaining to firearm crime
(including trafficking and unlawful sale), government corruption, homicides, and other State offenses. I currently
lead the CID and I’m responsible for the day-to-day management of the division’s activities, as well as educating
future and current detectives on investigative work.
[4] This statement is being submitted in support of a criminal information alleging that EV_ANSX, violated the
following state criminal laws: 5 S.C.C § 02 (Unlawful Possession of Firearms with Intent To Sell), 5 S.C.C § 08b
(Unlawful Stockpile of Government-Issued Equipment), 5 S.C.C § 08 (Unlawful Possession of Government-Issued
Equipment), and 5 S.C.C § 01 (Unlawful Possession of A Deadly Weapon).
[5] This statement is based on my personal knowledge, information provided to me by other law enforcement
agents, law enforcement records, witness interviews, and my training and experience, as well as the training and
experience of other law enforcement agents.
[6] Because this statement is being submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause in
support of a criminal information, I have not included each and every fact known to me concerning this
investigation. I have only set forth the facts that I believe are necessary to establish probable cause that the
defendant violated the state criminal laws set forth herein.
PROBABLE CAUSE
[7] On September 19th, 2023, at 6:30 AM EEST, the CID received a tipline submission from a complainant
alleging that the defendant was in possession of government-issued equipment.
[8] In the tipline submission, the complainant provided in their summary “Man these barriers are REALLY taking
a lot of weight in my vault. Can someone pick them up along with the rest of this police-grade stuff that I got from
kennytube? Thanks.” Along with their statement, there was a medal.tv clip attached that is marked as Exhibit A.

[9] In this clip uploaded by the defendant, EV_ANSX can be seen browsing his house safe inventory, located at
1150 Menlo St. Oakland. It can be seen how there is a number of government-issued equipment within the safe. In
the video, there is an added text stating “Cant say im poor lil bro”, likely referring to the large amount of
government-issued equipment the suspect has in their possession.
[10] Based on the information provided to me, and upon review of the medal.tv clip, I filed an application for the
search of the defendant’s person, all vehicles, and their residence at 1150 Menlo St. Oakland, Ridgeway County.
This application is marked as Exhibit B.
[11] On September 19th, 2023, the Special Response Team (hereinafter “SRT”) of the Ridgeway County Sheriff’s
Office executed the search warrant on the aforementioned locations. The SRT was able to return 713 pieces of
unlawful equipment that were found in the possession of the defendant. The complete list of seized items can be
found in the search warrant receipt, marked as Exhibit C. The defendant was subsequently booked in the Ridgeway
County jail for 5 S.C.C § 01 (Unlawful Possession of A Deadly Weapon).
[12] On September 28th, 2023, I contacted Deputy RoyaltySyn and was able to retrieve a recording of the search
warrant’s execution, which includes the search of the defendant’s vehicles at the headquarters of the Ridgeway
County Sheriff’s Office. This recording is marked as Exhibit D.
