  • MIL-OSI Security: Twenty-Nine Individuals Sentenced to 378 Combined Years in Federal Prison for Running Armed Fentanyl and Methamphetamine Trafficking Ring

    Source: Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI Crime News (b)

    EVANSVILE- 29 defendants have been sentenced to a combined 378 years in federal prison for their roles in a large methamphetamine and fentanyl drug trafficking organization that operated in Southern Indiana.

    According to court documents, between January 2020 and November 2021, the following 29 individuals conspired together to distribute a total of nearly 500 pounds of methamphetamine and over three kilograms of fentanyl. This investigation led to the seizure of over 80 pounds of methamphetamine, over 560 grams of fentanyl, and $240,000 in United States currency.

    Jeramey Smith served as the leader of the drug trafficking operation. Smith began obtaining multiple pound quantities of crystal methamphetamine from Julian Green in early 2020 until April of 2021 when he changed his source of supply to a cartel linked individual based in Houston, Texas. In June of 2021, Smith was robbed of a large amount of cash and was unable to pay his supplier for the lost product. Smith resorted back to Green to obtain the crystal methamphetamine.

    DeJarnett was one of Smith’s top methamphetamine customers, often purchasing up to 20 pounds at a time. After Smith obtained the methamphetamine from either Green or his Mexican source of supply, he then distributed the methamphetamine to mid -level distributors in Indianapolis and Evansville.   

    In September 2021, Smith branched out to also begin selling large quantities of fentanyl-laced pills. Smith would obtain fentanyl powder from Markey and/or Moore, who would then press the powder into pills. Smith then used his same distributors to distribute the fentanyl throughout Southern Indiana. Law enforcement seized an automated pill press during the course of the investigation. Smith also used violence and intimidation to further his drug business by having his distributors robbed of their drug proceeds at gun point.

    Additionally, several members of the drug trafficking used firearms to protect themselves and their profits. In total, law enforcement officers seized over 30 firearms from the defendants during court-authorized searches at multiple locations in Indianapolis and Evansville.

    “The members of this conspiracy will spend decades in federal prison for pumping pounds of methamphetamine and fentanyl onto our streets,” said John E. Childress, Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “Drug use devastates so many families and kills hundreds of Hoosiers every year. That’s why we will work with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to dismantle armed organizations trafficking in deadly drugs. The sentences imposed in this case demonstrate our continued commitment to protecting the public from these dangerous criminals.”

    “Dismantling a major drug trafficking organization that was responsible for distributing multi-hundred-pound quantities of methamphetamine and kilogram quantities of fentanyl onto the streets of Indiana was a big win for law enforcement. Because of the exceptional collaborative efforts by law enforcement, we were able to achieve this remarkable outcome,” said DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Michael Gannon. “This investigation was a wonderful victory for all Hoosiers and sends a crystal-clear message to major drug dealers we will continue working together with our partners to dismantle their illicit operations.”   

    “This sentencing is a significant victory in the relentless fight against the trafficking of deadly drugs and underscores the FBI’s commitment to pursue those who wreak havoc on our communities through their illegal drug trade,” said FBI Indianapolis Special Agent in Charge Herbert J. Stapleton. “The FBI will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to ensure those who endanger public safety and contribute to this crisis are held accountable.”

    “I would like to thank the dedicated Evansville Police Officers and Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office Deputies as well as our federal partners in the DEA and US Attorney’s Office for their roles in getting these individuals off our streets. The manufacturing and distribution of methamphetamine and fentanyl have brought death and destruction to our communities and have done irreversible damage to families in the worst way possible. This community will not tolerate that kind of behavior and illegal activity, and we will use every resource available to us to stop it and put dealers behind bars.”

    This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Evansville Resident Office, with the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Evansville Vanderburgh County Joint Task Force, DEA Indianapolis and Indianapolis Metro Drug Task Force providing valuable assistance. The sentenced were imposed by U.S. District Court Judge Matthew P. Brookman.

    Acting U.S. Attorney John E. Childress thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Lauren Wheatley and Jeremy Kemper, who prosecuted this case. 

    According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, as little as two milligrams of fentanyl can be fatal, depending on a person’s body size, tolerance, and past usage—a tiny amount that can fit on the tip of a pencil. Seven out of ten illegal fentanyl tablets seized from U.S. streets and analyzed by the DEA have been found to contain a potentially lethal dose of the drug.

    One Pill Can Kill: Avoid pills bought on the street because One Pill Can Kill. Fentanyl has now become the leading cause of death for adults in the United States. Fentanyl is a highly potent opioid that drug dealers dilute with cutting agents to make counterfeit prescription pills that appear to be Oxycodone, Percocet, Xanax, and other drugs. Fake prescription pills laced with fentanyl are usually shaped and colored to look like pills sold at pharmacies. For example, fake prescription pills known as “M30s” imitate Oxycodone obtained from a pharmacy, but when sold on the street the pills routinely contain fentanyl. These pills are usually round tablets and often light blue in color, though they may be in different shapes and a rainbow of colors. They often have “M” and “30” imprinted on opposite sides of the pill. Do not take these or any other pills bought on the street – they are routinely fake and poisonous, and you won’t know until it’s too late.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Convicted Felon Sentenced to Seven Years for Possession of Firearm

    Source: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) State Crime News

    Tampa, FL – U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Barber has sentenced Sherron Gary (41, Tampa) to seven years in federal prison for possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon. Gary pleaded guilty in October 2024.

    According to court documents, on April 9, 2023, officers with the Tampa Police Department (TPD) attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Gary after observing the vehicle had a broken taillight. Gary failed to pull over and instead fled from the officers at a high rate of speed. A police helicopter followed Gary. After Gary’s vehicle was boxed in by law enforcement, Gary fled from the officers on foot, which the helicopter was also able to capture.

    As Gary fled, the helicopter crew observed Gary discard an item as he was running that resembled a firearm. TPD officers apprehended Gary. After the arrest, the helicopter crew directed officers back to the location where they had observed Gary discard the firearm. Officers located a 9mm Walther Creed semiautomatic pistol at the location.

    At the time, Gary had four prior felony convictions, including aggravated battery and armed burglary of a dwelling, trafficking of cocaine, delivery of cocaine, and delivery of cocaine within 1,000 feet of church. As a convicted felon, Gary is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law.

    This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Tampa Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Samantha Newman. The forfeiture was handled by Assistant United States Attorney Suzanne Nebesky.

    This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

    According to Acting United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, the indictment alleges that Stout used the internet and an electronic device to persuade and coerce a minor to engage in sexual conduct and to produce child pornography.  The indictment also alleges that on or about July 28, 2024, Stout received child pornography and on August 23, 2024, Stout possessed child pornography. 

    The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigations –Philadelphia-RAC Williamsport, the Hughesville Borough Police Department, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office.  Assistant United States Attorney Tatum R. Wilson is prosecuting the case.

    This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Montgomery Man Sentenced to 20 Years in Federal Prison for Production of Child Sexual Abuse Material

    Source: Office of United States Attorneys

               Montgomery, Ala. – Today, Acting United States Attorney Kevin Davidson announced the sentencing of a Montgomery, Alabama man for producing child sexual abuse material. On January 30, 2025, a federal judge ordered 49-year-old Cleveland Dewayne Chambers to serve 240 months in prison. The judge also ordered that Chambers remain on supervised release for seven years following his prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.

               According to Chamber’s plea agreement and other court records, in July 2022, law enforcement in Pennsylvania were conducting a child exploitation investigation on an individual in the City of Eaton. Investigators in that case discovered electronic communications leading them to suspect Chambers was also involved in producing or sharing illegal images of children. Further investigation revealed that, from March 2022 through July 2022, Chambers communicated with a woman in St. Louis, Missouri, directing her to create images and videos of sexually explicit conduct with her two-year-old child. Chambers would then share and distribute the images and videos to others using a messaging application on his cellphone.

               “Protecting children from exploitation is one of law enforcement’s most important responsibilities,” stated Acting United States Attorney Davidson. “Producing and trading in child sexual abuse material is an incredibly tragic crime that robs children of their innocence and inflicts long lasting harm. While all child sexual exploitation is unacceptable, the sexual abuse of a two-year-old is absolutely reprehensible. I applaud the efforts of all the agencies involved in this case for stopping Chamber’s criminal activity before more children were victimized.”

               This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

    WACO, Texas – Two Guatemalan nationals were arrested in Waco on criminal charges related to their alleged aiding and abetting the possession of a firearm as undocumented noncitizens.

    According to court documents, Anderson Morales-Calderon and Ever Morales-Calderon were subjected to a traffic stop on Jan. 24, by officers from the Troy Police Department (TPD) and Lorena Police Department (LPD) as response to a road rage complaint called into 911. The 911 caller alleged that an individual pointed a rifle at a semi-truck on IH-35. During the traffic stop, officers observed two air rifles and one .22 rifle in plain view in the back seat and on the back floorboard of the vehicle. Further investigation revealed that both Anderson and Ever Morales-Calderon were unlawfully present in the United States.

    The two defendants were in federal court in Austin Tuesday for their initial appearances. If convicted, they each face up to 10 years in federal prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

    U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza for the Western District of Texas made the announcement.

    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are investigating the case with the assistance of the TPD and LPD.

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Smith-Burris is prosecuting the case.

    Fraudsters call citizens, including via messengers, and claim that unknown persons are trying to steal money from their account. To prevent the loss of savings, fraudsters convince a person to immediately install on their phone a supposedly mobile application of the Central Bank (the names may vary). Moreover, while it is being installed, they prohibit using the device.

    After this, the attackers ask the victim to launch the installed application, bring their card to their mobile phone and enter a confirmation SMS code from the bank, supposedly to authorize in the regulator’s application and save money in the account. In fact, the program downloaded to the person’s smartphone is malicious.

    It allows the fraudsters to create a virtual image of the victim’s bank card on the phone. As a result, the attackers can use this virtual image to withdraw money from ATMs that support contactless technology: instead of a bank card, they put their smartphone on the device.

    Do not download any mobile applications or programs at the request of strangers, and do not perform any actions in banking or other applications at their request.

    Do not disclose personal or financial information to strangers, no matter what pretext or method they use to obtain it.

    If you have any doubts about the safety of your money in your bank account, immediately call your bank at the number listed on its official website or on the back of your bank card.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Lifesaving bleed kits installed across Oxford to help in an emergency

    Source: City of Oxford

    Wednesday, 5 February 2025

    Oxford City Council has worked with an Oxford-based theatre group and Thames Valley Police to install four new lifesaving bleed control kits in key locations across the city.

    Oxford City Council has worked with an Oxford-based theatre group and Thames Valley Police to install four new lifesaving bleed control kits in key locations across the city. 

    The kits, which are designed to help treat severe bleeding before emergency services arrive, have been installed by ODS at: 

    Each kit contains essential first aid equipment, such as tourniquets, gauze and gloves, to help control heavy bleeding in critical situations. Like defibrillators, the bleed kits are stored in secure cabinets on the outside of buildings. Emergency call handlers provide the key code access to the cabinets when needed. While Oxford has many defibrillators, including in Oxford Town Hall, these are the first publicly accessible bleed kits installed in the city. 

    The initiative is part of a wider effort to enhance community safety and ensure people have access to essential first-aid tools in critical situations. Oxford City Council and Thames Valley Police had already been working to install bleed kits, and the initiative has also been supported by Claire Nelson, who last year wrote and performed a solo show, “Motherhood”, about the impact of knife crime on parents, inspired by real-life experiences. A Crowdfunder linked to the show raised over £1300 to fund two of the newly installed kits. 

    The installation of the kits follows similar initiatives in other UK cities, where they have been credited with helping to save lives. 

    Claire Nelson, “Motherhood” writer and performer, and key fundraiser, said: 

    “I’m so pleased that Oxford now has bleed kits and would like to thank all the people who donated to the crowdfunding campaign for this.

    Bleed kits can help any member of the public save a life before professional medical help arrives and those minutes could just make the difference to help save someone’s life.”

    Councillor Lubna Arshad, Cabinet Member for A Safer Oxford said: 

    “In an emergency, every second counts. Having these vital kits in place really could save lives. We’re proud to support this initiative between the Council, Thames Valley Police and brilliant community advocates like Claire, to help make Oxford a safer place for everyone.”

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Economy and Infrastructure Committee statement re Enva fire

    Source: Scotland – City of Perth

    I would like to address the understandable concerns raised by many residents of Perth and Kinross regarding the fires at the waste management site on Shore Terrace, Perth, and their impact on the Friarton Road Bridge and local residents.

    The most recent fire, in the early hours of 14 January, was the third to happen on the site, with the previous fire – in February 2023 – resulting in the tragic death of a worker on the site.

    All of the incidents were related to lithium battery fires.

    On this most recent occasion local residents again faced having to take action to prevent the risk of smoke getting into their properties, added to which local roads and the city centre became badly congested as a result of diverted traffic from Friarton Bridge which had to be closed for 10 hours. This also caused significant disruption to school transport, leaving pupils, including some due to sit exams, stranded for a lengthy period. And of course, the bridge itself is an integral component of Scotland’s road network and its necessary closure will have caused widespread disruption to very many road users from across Scotland.

    In my view, this is an unacceptable situation which must be urgently addressed to find solutions which minimise any risks in the future.

    Perth and Kinross Council does not have a role in granting or reviewing the licence for waste management on the site, or for inspecting the fire safety arrangements on the site. 
    Nor can we change or influence the use or disposal of lithium batteries, although the use, recycling and storage of these is currently under review at a national level.

    However, we do understand and share the concerns of our residents who are seeking reassurances about how fires at the site can be prevented in future. And, as representatives of the community we are committed to advocating for the safety and wellbeing of our residents.

    To this end we are inviting representatives of site operators ENVA and lead agencies SEPA, the Health and Safety Executive, Transport Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland to meet with the Leader of the Council, local parliamentarians, council officers and myself as soon as possible to seek reassurances, to understand what action can and will be taken to prevent such incidents from recurring and to ensure effective collaboration across all agencies. 

    We shall keep members of the public, this committee and ward councillors informed of the outcome of these discussions.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Liverpool City Council cracking down on illegally dumped waste 

    Source: City of Liverpool

    Liverpool City Council will step up its efforts to counter fly-tipping, dog-fouling and littering across the City by inviting applications for an external partner to provide additional enforcement. 

    Feedback from residents’ surveys, which found that fly-tipping and littering were priority issues, has played a significant part in the move to work alongside specialists with the aim of eradicating illegal waste in Liverpool. 

    The Council interviewed potential suppliers in December 2024 ensuring that an open-market procurement process would attract a range of partners. The award of a contract to the successful bidder is due to take place in March, with the chosen supplier beginning work early this summer. 

    Combatting fly-tipping, which is the illegal dumping of waste, was highlighted in a series of recommendations to help drive up environmental standards across the City were agreed by Cabinet last year.

    As part of these recommendations, the Council is also revising the cost of Fixed Penalty Notices for anyone who is found to be fly-tipping or littering.

    Each year, clearing fly-tipping costs approximately £1m, which could be used to improve services elsewhere within Liverpool. Nine out of 10 reports are responded to and cleared in five working days, but the issue is one that could be avoided entirely.

    Last summer, the Council appointed a new Environmental Enforcement Team to identify and take action against offenders. The team patrol the streets every day of the week to educate local communities on correct waste management and investigate environmental crimes.  

    Working closely with Merseyside Police, the team also check waste carriers to make sure they are disposing of waste correctly and carry the right licence to be able to do so. 

    Since June last year, the team has spoken to over 450 residential properties and businesses about fly-tipping, issuing almost 100 written warnings. This team is set to double in size in the coming months, providing more capacity to work with residents and businesses to prevent future fly-tipping.

    The incoming external partner will work closely with the taskforce to increase awareness of correct waste disposal and clamp down on illegal dumping, littering and dog-fouling. 

    The Council offers a free bulky item collection for anyone looking to get rid of items that are too big to place in household waste. Up to five items, including fridges, wardrobes, and sofas, can be collected at one time. Once taken away, these items will then be safely recycled. Alternatively, excess waste can be taken to a nearby Household Waste Recycling Centre.

    Councillor Laura Robertson-Collins, Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities, Neighbourhoods and Streetscene said: “Fly-tipping is an ugly and hazardous act. Liverpool is a fantastic city that we should all be proud to live in, but it’s clear that a small minority has no respect for our streets. 

    “In the past year, we’ve cleared over 20,000 instances of illegally dumped waste, many of which have been reported by concerned residents.

    “We know that fly-tipping is unsightly and can harm the environment, so a lot of time and resources are committed to cleaning it up quickly. The time and money we’ve spent on doing this could have been used on improving our City rather than having to fix a problem that selfish people have created. 

    “Residents have said to us that this is a major issue, and we agree. We’ve already taken significant steps internally by hiring more enforcement officers and the next step is to expand our operations through an external partner.

    “Our procurement strategy is focused on finding the best possible partner to achieve our aims of tackling fly-tipping, littering and dog-fouling across Liverpool.”

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: Sports park stress test smooth

    Source: Hong Kong Information Services

    Police have reported that another large-scale stress test, held tonight with 50,000 spectators attending the Hong Kong Premier League U22 football match, ran smoothly at Kai Tak Sports Park’s Main Stadium.

    The exercise was conducted to assess the operational readiness of the Main Stadium and its surrounding facilities for sports events with maximum attendance.

    Similar to the previous large-scale stress tests, the drill was co-ordinated by the force’s Exercise Team, covering five major testing and evaluation areas: security screening and ticket checks; venue signage and designated seating arrangements; inter-agency co-ordination in response to emergencies; various crowd management measures; and passenger flow management by public transport operators.

    During the exercise, the Fire Services Department simulated two fire incidents of varying scales, aiming to test the communication and response capabilities of Fire Services personnel in co-ordination with Police, venue security and other emergency response teams. Police also simulated an emergency incident involving public safety and security to test the response of all stakeholders.

    The stress test was scheduled for a weekday evening, with a slight overlap between the entry time and rush hour after work. Meanwhile, the exercise concluded at a later time, with most participants choosing to leave the park immediately afterwards, thereby increasing the pressure on the transport system.

    Police implemented new crowd management measures, such as using large display panels along the exit routes to MTR stations to convey crowd management information, playing music and deploying police officers to provide real-time information on the spot to help participants leave safely.

    In the exercise, the public transport system and surrounding facilities were able to divert the large passenger flows within a short period of time, allowing participants to enter and leave the venue in an orderly manner.

    The Main Stadium’s retractable roof was opened for the first time during the stress test, aligning the testing time and mode more closely to the actual conditions of sports events, and the volume of noise during the test was found to be within the acceptable sound level.

    A total of 50,000 civil servants, government employees and members of community groups simulated crowd flows during the test.
