Heading: Mr. Farris’s Interview

Text: On November 13, 2013, law enforcement agents interviewed Mr. Farris, assuring him they would not arrest him. In this interview, Mr. Farris stated the drugs and bullets found in the shorts and the bullets in the car belonged to him. He said he had purchased the ammunition a few days before Mr. Lozado’s arrest and had borrowed Mr. Lozado’s car to transport the bullets to his cousin’s house. Mr. Farris said Mr. Lozado knew he had planned to take the ammunition to his cousin’s house but did not know Mr. Farris had not yet removed the ammunition from the car when he was pulled over. Mr. Farris said the ammunition was both 9-millimeter and .45 caliber and was boxed. When asked why, if he had just purchased it, the ammunition in the car was not found in a box, Mr. Farris said he had both loose and boxed ammunition and had left the former in the car. Mr. Farris described the ammunition in the car as the same type as that -5- found in his shorts. He thought there were 40 to 50 bullets in the car. He described the 9-millimeter ammunition as having gray shell casings with a copper tip. Mr. Farris also admitted he was an illegal-drug user and had used drugs on the day of Mr. Lozado’s arrest. But throughout his interview, Mr. Farris said he had not done anything illegal or wrong.
