The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on August 22, 2014 released the following:
“Former Garland, Texas Man Indicted for Aiming a Laser Pointer at an Aircraft
DALLAS—A federal grand jury has indicted Steven Alexander Chavez, Jr., 23, on one count of aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft, announced U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldaña of the Northern District of Texas.
Today, special agents with the FBI arrested Chavez in Lubbock, Texas, where he had recently relocated from Garland, Texas.
According to the indictment, returned earlier this week in Dallas, on or about August 24, 2013, in the Dallas Division of the Northern District of Texas, Chavez knowingly aimed the beam of a laser pointer at a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) helicopter.
A federal indictment is an accusation by a grand jury and a defendant is entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty. If convicted, however, the maximum statutory penalty is five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
The FBI, Texas DPS and Garland Police Department are investigating. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Burns is prosecuting.”

FBI: “Five Charged with Fraud in Wilkes-Barre City Employees Federal Credit Union Investigation”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on August 21, 2014 released the following:
“The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that a Grand Jury in Scranton returned indictments Tuesday charging five members of the Wilkes-Barre City Employees Federal Credit Union with conspiracy and bank fraud. The indictments were sealed pending the arrests and/or voluntary surrender of the defendants today.
According to United States Attorney Peter Smith, Tino Ninotti, age 35, Jason Anthony, age 34, Leo Glodzik, age 43, Amanda Magda, age 30, and Jeffrey Serafin, age 35, were charged in three separate indictments related to activities of the credit union. Glodzik is also charged with tampering with a witness. Magda was the assistant manager at the Credit Union; Jason Anthony is a Wilkes-Barre City Police Officer; Ninotti is a former Wilkes-Barre City Police officer; Glodzik is a contractor whose company had a towing contract with the City of Wilkes-Barre.
Four of the defendants appeared today before Magistrate Judge Karoline Mehalchick in federal court in Wilkes-Barre. Ninotti, Anthony and Glodzik were released from custody and ordered to report to pretrial services. Glodzik was ordered to surrender his passport. Serafin was released on his own recognizance. The hearing for Magda is expected to take place later today.
The indictments, unsealed today, allege that the defendants, during 2014, individually or by aiding and abetting one another, secured loans from the Credit Union by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, including the use of false collateral, the stolen identities of others who were not aware of loans in their names, and forgery. Magda and Anthony are charged in one indictment; Ninotti, Glodzik and Magda in a second indictment; and Serafin alone in the third indictment.
If convicted, the defendants face up to 30 years in prison and fines in the amount of $1,000,000.
According to the U.S. Attorney the charges are a significant step in an ongoing corruption investigation by the FBI. The case represents the pursuit of allegations against individuals; the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office value the close working relationships they have with local police departments, including Wilkes-Barre’s, and with honest police officers. These relationships will continue.
The prosecution is the result of a joint investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) which plays an integral role in investigations of fraud and public corruption. Prosecution is assigned to Assistant United States Attorney Michelle Olshefski.
Luzerne County citizens, as well as employees and officials of local government are urged to come forward and provide relevant information about this case and others involving corruption in local government by contacting the Scranton FBI Office at 570-344-2404.
Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant’s educational, vocational and medical needs. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.”

“Twenty-six people were indicted for their roles in a conspiracy to bring large amounts of heroin, cocaine and marijuana to Toledo from Arizona, California, Illinois and Mexico, law enforcement officials said.
The 55-count federal indictment was announced by Steven M. Dettelbach, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, Stephen D. Anthony, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Cleveland office, Toledo Police Chief William Moton and Lucas County Sheriff John Tharp.
“Heroin abuse is an epidemic in our community that takes lives and destroys families,” Dettelbach said. “We will continue to target drug traffickers while also working to reduce demand and get treatment for those who need it.”
“This is another example of the international drug trafficking connections that are plaguing our communities with danger and heroin,” Anthony said. “The FBI will continue collaborative law enforcement efforts to combat these violent organizations.”
“Through the working relationship that has been developed between the Toledo Police Metro Drug Task Force and the Federal Bureau of Investigation we have become more efficient in targeting the mid- and upper-level heroin dealers in Toledo and surrounding communities,” said Toledo Police Chief William Moton. “These arrests are a byproduct of this successful collaboration. The City of Toledo and surrounding areas are the benefactors of these efforts as the spread of heroin has the potential to deteriorate the standard of living in our community.”
Those indicted are from Toledo unless otherwise noted. They are:
Alejandro Garcia, 44; Regina Navarro, 36; Osvaldo Perez, 60; Sean Machaterre, 31; Dicki Isom, 33; Federico Perez, 25; Daryl Mickles, Jr., 31; Keith Hubbell, 30; David Berrera, Jr., 40; Santos Flores, 34, of Oregon, Ohio; Juan Montano, 35; Daniel Montano, 26; Yousvani Gacita, 34; Davi Mata, 32; Willie Edward Smith, 38; Juan Rivera, 34; Paulo Gonzalez, 27; Abdul Shabazz, 39; Davalon Brown, 28; James Munoz, 37; Victoria Santellana, 31; Daniel Barboza, 38; Anthony Rudess, 42, of Curtice, Ohio; Eric Mays-Clausen, 41; Randolph Kemp, 53, and Jacqueline Jaquez, 40.
The defendants conspired between 2010 and this month to bring large shipments of heroin, cocaine and marijuana to Toledo for distribution. Garcia obtained the drugs from suppliers in Arizona, California, Illinois and Mexico and then distributed the drugs to mid-level dealers in the Toledo area. Those dealers, in turn, distributed the drugs to other dealers, according to the indictment.
The indictment details scores of transactions and drug sales that took place in Toledo, including locations at Ravine Park Village, Graham Street, Berry Street, North Ontario Street, Bronson Street, Sylvania Avenue, Westfield Park Mall, Main Street, Starr Avenue, Heatherdowns Road and other locations.
Three people—Garcia, Kemp and Isom—face additional charges of being felons in possession of firearms.
Prosecutors are also seeking to forfeit more than $6,800 in cash, six firearms, nine automobiles and homes at 1509 Navarre Avenue and 625 Parker Avenue in Toledo.
This indictment is the result of an investigation by the FBI and the Metro Drug Task Force, made up of members of the Toledo Police Department and the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Thomas P. Weldon and Michael Freeman.

“James L. Santelle the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin announced today the indictment in the Northern District of Illinois of Attorney Beau B. Brindley (age: 36) and Marina Collazo (age: 30) of Chicago in connection with a scheme to present perjured testimony in the 2009 trial of United States v. Alexander Vasquez, in federal district court in Chicago.
Although the crime is alleged to have occurred in Chicago, the United States Attorney’s Office there has recused itself in the matter and it has been transferred to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, in Milwaukee. However, all legal proceedings in this case will take place in Chicago.
The indictment is based upon allegations that Mr. Brindley, a Chicago criminal defense attorney, caused Ms. Collazo to commit perjury in the trial of Mr. Vasquez, a Brindley client. The indictment contains five counts:
Count One charges both defendants with a conspiracy to obstruct justice through the presentation of false testimony, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371. The maximum possible penalty for this offense is a fine of not more than $250,000, imprisonment for not more than five years, or both, plus a mandatory $100 special assessment and up to three years of supervised release to follow any term of incarceration.
Counts Two through Four charge both defendants with perjury, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1623(a). The maximum possible penalty for each of those counts is a fine of not more than $250,000, imprisonment for not more than five years, or both, plus a mandatory $100 special assessment and up to three years of supervised release to follow any term of incarceration.
Count Five charges Mr. Brindley with obstruction of justice, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2). The maximum possible penalty for this offense is a fine of not more than $250,000, imprisonment for not more than 20 years, or both, plus a mandatory $100 special assessment and up to three years of supervised release to follow any term of incarceration.
This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Michael J. Chmelar and Mel S. Johnson.
The public is cautioned that an indictment is merely an accusation and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”

“Eight Alleged Members and Associates of the Two Six Nation Street Gang Indicted in Racketeering Conspiracy”
“WASHINGTON—Four members of the Two Six Nation street gang and four of their associates have been indicted for their roles in a racketeering conspiracy spanning more than 20 years, as well as murder and drug trafficking charges.
Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney David A. Capp of the Northern District of Indiana, Special Agent in Charge Carl Vasilko of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) Chicago Field Division, Special Agent in Charge Jack Riley of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Chicago Field Division and Special Agent in Charge W. Jay Abott of the FBI’s Indianapolis Division made the announcement.
“Today’s action reflects the most recent in the department’s continuing efforts to free communities within East Chicago, Gary and Chicago from the scourge of gang violence and drug dealing,” said Assistant Attorney General Caldwell. “Over the years, the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division have partnered to use RICO and other federal charges to disrupt and dismantle violent gangs like the Imperial Gangsters, the Latin Kings and now the Two Six Nation. These rolling prosecutions of violent gangs in this region demonstrate the department’s commitment to ensure that no gang is able to maintain a foothold in these communities.”
“This is our third use of the federal RICO statute against violent street gangs operating in northwest Indiana,” said U.S. Attorney Capp. “This indictment was the result of extensive federal-local law enforcement work on both sides of the state border. Our investigations continue and we will not hesitate to utilize the power of the RICO statute to remove these individuals from the streets.”
The second superseding indictment returned by a federal grand jury on Aug. 21, 2014, and unsealed today, charges Adron Herschel Tancil, aka “Awol,” 36, of East Chicago, Indiana; Jesus Valentin Fuentes, aka “Chu Chu,” 39, of Gary, Indiana; Frank Perez Jr., aka “Pumpkin,” 33, of Verona, Pennsylvania; and Anthony Cresencio Aguilera, aka “P-nut,” 35, of Portage, Indiana with RICO conspiracy and conspiracy to engage in drug trafficking, including marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin and ecstasy. Also charged in the narcotics conspiracy are Oscar Cosme, aka “Cos,” 41, of East Chicago; Ester Carrera, aka “Mama D,” 61, of Gary; Paul Brock, aka “Big Brock,” 27, of Gary; and Alma Delia Carrera, 28, of Gary. Both the RICO and narcotics conspiracies allege criminal conduct spanning more than 20 years, from January 1992 to the present.
The indictment further charges defendants Tancil, Fuentes and Cosme with the May 16, 2003, homicide of Julio Cartagena in East Chicago. Kiontay Kyare Pennington has already pleaded guilty to murder in aid of racketeering for his role in this homicide.
In addition, the indictment charges Frank Perez with the July 13, 1999, murder of Jose Pena Jr. in Whiting, Indiana.
The charges contained in an indictment are merely accusations and all persons charged are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.
This case is being investigated by the ATF, DEA, FBI, East Chicago Police Department and Whiting Police Department, with assistance from the Chicago Police Department, Gary Police Department, Hammond Police Department, Highland Police Department and the Lake County High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force. Assistance was also provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David J. Nozick for the Northern District of Indiana and Trial Attorney Andrew L. Creighton of the Criminal Division’s Organized Crime and Gang Section.”
