At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view
The RJA checked closed doors and bathroom areas The RJA checked a small closet easily accessible
to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made
the weapon safe and found that the firearm contained one magazine of five live rounds but none had
been chambered The camouflaged jacket owner who has no criminal history was identified As

the firearm The firearm was boxed and transported to District 11 Zone 6 Headquarters by the RJA
The firearm was packaged per ISP policy labeled exhibit and submitted to the Zone 6 Vault for
transport to the ISP Crime Lab for test firing and comparison to the open case files
Contact was made with an on duty manager of the club MSgt Joe Beliveau and FBI SA
Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put
on notice that if illegal activities continued inside the club the management and club ownership could
be potentially violating both state and federal statutes

At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view
The RJA checked closed doors and bathroom areas The RJA checked a small closet easily accessible
to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made
the weapon safe and found that the firearm contained one magazine of five live rounds but none had
been chambered The camouflaged jacket owner who has no criminal history was identified As

the firearm The firearm was boxed and transported to District 11 Zone 6 Headquarters by the RJA
The firearm was packaged per ISP policy labeled exhibit and submitted to the Zone 6 Vault for
transport to the ISP Crime Lab for test firing and comparison to the open case files
Contact was made with an on duty manager of the club MSgt Joe Beliveau and FBI SA
Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put
on notice that if illegal activities continued inside the club the management and club ownership could
be potentially violating both state and federal statutes

RIA knew this to be a common practice for marijuana users Two security guards were also carrying
concealed firearms One of those guards was a convicted felon The other guard advised agents that the
Mayor of East Saint Louis has mandated that they escort patrons to their vehicles when they leave the

Special Agent (SA) Chris Lutz conducted a walk through of Club Posh as part of the WAVE
task force
At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view
The RJA checked closed doors and bathroom areas The RJA checked a small closet easily accessible
to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made
the weapon safe and found that the firearm contained one magazine of five live rounds but none had
been chambered The camouflaged jacket owner who has no criminal history was identified As

the firearm The firearm was boxed and transported to District 11 Zone 6 Headquarters by the RJA
The firearm was packaged per ISP policy labeled exhibit and submitted to the Zone 6 Vault for
transport to the ISP Crime Lab for test firing and comparison to the open case files
Contact was made with an on duty manager of the club MSgt Joe Beliveau and FBI SA
Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put
on notice that if illegal activities continued inside the club the management and club ownership could
be potentially violating both state and federal statutes

Complainant says that he has probable cause to believe based upon the following facts that the
above listed things to be seized are now located upon the PREMISES OF CLUB 103 BEING A
COMMERCIAL BUILDING set forth above
Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the Illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club 103103 Collinsville Avenue East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial
establishment with a liquor license Over the course of sixteen months from November 2010 to
March 2012 there have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this
specific location and surrounding areas The specific calls to Club 103 are listed below
031112012- Stephan Holmes (AKA Tanky) was murdered in the parking lot
05082011- Battery Report (ESL PD)
0412412011- Disturbance (ESL PD)
11252010- Agents Received information that Darius Jenkins was working at Jesses
Place Jenkins was wanted in connection with the Dominique Brown murder in 2009
Based on these reports a walk through was conducted at this specific location Club 103
On April 27 2011 the Reporting Agent (RIA) and M1Sgt Joseph Beliveau conducted a walk
through of Club 103 as part of the WAVE task force
On April 27 2011 WAVE agents conduct a consensual walk through of the club Agents
readily detected a strong odor ofburnt cannabis in the basement of the club It was also obvious that
subjects were hollowing out their cigars and discarding the content in a trash can in the basement The
RIA knew this to be a common practice for marijuana users Two security guards were also carrying
concealed firearms One of those guards was a convicted felon The other guard advised agents that the
Mayor of East Saint Louis has mandated that they escort patrons to their vehicles when they leave the
club and that it was dangerous to do so Therefore he wore a bulletproof vest and carried a firearm

COMMERCIAL BUILDING set forth above
Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club Posh 657 East Broadway East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial establishment
with a liquor license Over the course of seven months from June 2011 to January 2012 there
have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this specific location and
surrounding this location The specific calls to Club Posh are listed below
123112011- Shots Fired Report (ESL PD)
12252011- Assault Report (ESL PD)
121812011- Stolen Vehicle Report (ESL PD)
1211112011- UUW Report (ESL PD)

101152011- Stolen Vehicle Report (ESL PD)
091112011- Shots Fired Report (ESL PD)
0611312011- Criminal Damage Vehicle Report (ESL PD)
Based on these reports a walk through was conducted at this specific location Club Posh
On January 28 2012 Reporting Agent (RIA) Scott Boothe Federal Bureau of Investigations
(FBI) Special Agent (SA) Bryan Yingling MlSgt Joseph Beliveau FBI SIA Nick Manns and
Special Agent (SA) Chris Lutz conducted a walk through of Club Posh as part of the WAVE
task force
At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view
The RJA checked closed doors and bathroom areas The RJA checked a small closet easily accessible
to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made
the weapon safe and found that the firearm contained one magazine of five live rounds but none had
been chambered The camouflaged jacket owner who has no criminal history was identified As
indicated by his Metro link card he had just arrived at Club Posh and claimed he had no knowledge of
the firearm The firearm was boxed and transported to District 11 Zone 6 Headquarters by the RJA
The firearm was packaged per ISP policy labeled exhibit and submitted to the Zone 6 Vault for
transport to the ISP Crime Lab for test firing and comparison to the open case files
Contact was made with an on duty manager of the club MSgt Joe Beliveau and FBI SA
Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put
on notice that if illegal activities continued inside the club the management and club ownership could
be potentially violating both state and federal statutes

readily detected a strong odor ofburnt cannabis in the basement of the club It was also obvious that
subjects were hollowing out their cigars and discarding the content in a trash can in the basement The
RIA knew this to be a common practice for marijuana users Two security guards were also carrying
concealed firearms One of those guards was a convicted felon The other guard advised agents that the
Mayor of East Saint Louis has mandated that they escort patrons to their vehicles when they leave the
club and that it was dangerous to do so Therefore he wore a bulletproof vest and carried a firearm

COMMERCIAL BUILDING set forth above
Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club Posh 657 East Broadway East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial establishment
with a liquor license Over the course of seven months from June 2011 to January 2012 there
have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this specific location and
surrounding this location The specific calls to Club Posh are listed below
123112011- Shots Fired Report (ESL PD)
12252011- Assault Report (ESL PD)
121812011- Stolen Vehicle Report (ESL PD)

101152011- Stolen Vehicle Report (ESL PD)
091112011- Shots Fired Report (ESL PD)
0611312011- Criminal Damage Vehicle Report (ESL PD)
Based on these reports a walk through was conducted at this specific location Club Posh
On January 28 2012 Reporting Agent (RIA) Scott Boothe Federal Bureau of Investigations
(FBI) Special Agent (SA) Bryan Yingling MlSgt Joseph Beliveau FBI SIA Nick Manns and
Special Agent (SA) Chris Lutz conducted a walk through of Club Posh as part of the WAVE
task force
At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view
The RJA checked closed doors and bathroom areas The RJA checked a small closet easily accessible
to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made
the weapon safe and found that the firearm contained one magazine of five live rounds but none had
been chambered The camouflaged jacket owner who has no criminal history was identified As
indicated by his Metro link card he had just arrived at Club Posh and claimed he had no knowledge of
the firearm The firearm was boxed and transported to District 11 Zone 6 Headquarters by the RJA
The firearm was packaged per ISP policy labeled exhibit and submitted to the Zone 6 Vault for
transport to the ISP Crime Lab for test firing and comparison to the open case files
Contact was made with an on duty manager of the club MSgt Joe Beliveau and FBI SA
Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put
on notice that if illegal activities continued inside the club the management and club ownership could
be potentially violating both state and federal statutes

Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club Posh 657 East Broadway East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial establishment
with a liquor license Over the course of seven months from June 2011 to January 2012 there
have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this specific location and

0611312011- Criminal Damage Vehicle Report (ESL PD)
Based on these reports a walk through was conducted at this specific location Club Posh
On January 28 2012 Reporting Agent (RIA) Scott Boothe Federal Bureau of Investigations
(FBI) Special Agent (SA) Bryan Yingling MlSgt Joseph Beliveau FBI SIA Nick Manns and
Special Agent (SA) Chris Lutz conducted a walk through of Club Posh as part of the WAVE
task force
At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view
The RJA checked closed doors and bathroom areas The RJA checked a small closet easily accessible
to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made
the weapon safe and found that the firearm contained one magazine of five live rounds but none had
been chambered The camouflaged jacket owner who has no criminal history was identified As
indicated by his Metro link card he had just arrived at Club Posh and claimed he had no knowledge of
the firearm The firearm was boxed and transported to District 11 Zone 6 Headquarters by the RJA
The firearm was packaged per ISP policy labeled exhibit and submitted to the Zone 6 Vault for
transport to the ISP Crime Lab for test firing and comparison to the open case files
Contact was made with an on duty manager of the club MSgt Joe Beliveau and FBI SA
Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put
on notice that if illegal activities continued inside the club the management and club ownership could
be potentially violating both state and federal statutes

WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime

investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not

used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club Posh 657 East Broadway East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial establishment

On January 28 2012 Reporting Agent (RIA) Scott Boothe Federal Bureau of Investigations
(FBI) Special Agent (SA) Bryan Yingling MlSgt Joseph Beliveau FBI SIA Nick Manns and
Special Agent (SA) Chris Lutz conducted a walk through of Club Posh as part of the WAVE
task force
At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view
The RJA checked closed doors and bathroom areas The RJA checked a small closet easily accessible
to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made
the weapon safe and found that the firearm contained one magazine of five live rounds but none had
been chambered The camouflaged jacket owner who has no criminal history was identified As
indicated by his Metro link card he had just arrived at Club Posh and claimed he had no knowledge of
the firearm The firearm was boxed and transported to District 11 Zone 6 Headquarters by the RJA
The firearm was packaged per ISP policy labeled exhibit and submitted to the Zone 6 Vault for
transport to the ISP Crime Lab for test firing and comparison to the open case files
Contact was made with an on duty manager of the club MSgt Joe Beliveau and FBI SA
Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put
on notice that if illegal activities continued inside the club the management and club ownership could
be potentially violating both state and federal statutes

Complainant says that he has probable cause to believe based upon the following facts that the
above listed things to be seized are now located upon the PREMISES OF CLUB 103 BEING A
COMMERCIAL BUILDING set forth above
Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the Illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club 103103 Collinsville Avenue East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial
establishment with a liquor license Over the course of sixteen months from November 2010 to
March 2012 there have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this
specific location and surrounding areas The specific calls to Club 103 are listed below
031112012- Stephan Holmes (AKA Tanky) was murdered in the parking lot

0412412011- Disturbance (ESL PD)
11252010- Agents Received information that Darius Jenkins was working at Jesses
Place Jenkins was wanted in connection with the Dominique Brown murder in 2009
Based on these reports a walk through was conducted at this specific location Club 103
On April 27 2011 the Reporting Agent (RIA) and M1Sgt Joseph Beliveau conducted a walk
through of Club 103 as part of the WAVE task force
On April 27 2011 WAVE agents conduct a consensual walk through of the club Agents
readily detected a strong odor ofburnt cannabis in the basement of the club It was also obvious that
subjects were hollowing out their cigars and discarding the content in a trash can in the basement The
RIA knew this to be a common practice for marijuana users Two security guards were also carrying
concealed firearms One of those guards was a convicted felon The other guard advised agents that the
Mayor of East Saint Louis has mandated that they escort patrons to their vehicles when they leave the
club and that it was dangerous to do so Therefore he wore a bulletproof vest and carried a firearm

Complainant says that he has probable cause to believe based upon the following facts that the
above listed things to be seized are now located upon the PREMISES OF CLUB 103 BEING A
COMMERCIAL BUILDING set forth above
Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the Illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club 103103 Collinsville Avenue East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial
establishment with a liquor license Over the course of sixteen months from November 2010 to
March 2012 there have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this
specific location and surrounding areas The specific calls to Club 103 are listed below
031112012- Stephan Holmes (AKA Tanky) was murdered in the parking lot
05082011- Battery Report (ESL PD)
0412412011- Disturbance (ESL PD)
11252010- Agents Received information that Darius Jenkins was working at Jesses
Place Jenkins was wanted in connection with the Dominique Brown murder in 2009
Based on these reports a walk through was conducted at this specific location Club 103
On April 27 2011 the Reporting Agent (RIA) and M1Sgt Joseph Beliveau conducted a walk
through of Club 103 as part of the WAVE task force
On April 27 2011 WAVE agents conduct a consensual walk through of the club Agents
readily detected a strong odor ofburnt cannabis in the basement of the club It was also obvious that
subjects were hollowing out their cigars and discarding the content in a trash can in the basement The
RIA knew this to be a common practice for marijuana users Two security guards were also carrying
concealed firearms One of those guards was a convicted felon The other guard advised agents that the
Mayor of East Saint Louis has mandated that they escort patrons to their vehicles when they leave the
club and that it was dangerous to do so Therefore he wore a bulletproof vest and carried a firearm
Based on Complainants training and experience Complainant has probable cause to believe that weapons of any form Catalogues magazines brochures books manuals and evidence of ordering the same relating to equipment or materials used in the preparation to traffic Cannabis and Controlled Substances Paraphernalia equipment and tools for packaging cutting weighing distributing storing processing and using Cannabis and Controlled Substances including but not

Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against

Special Agent (SA) Chris Lutz conducted a walk through of Club Posh as part of the WAVE
task force
At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view
The RJA checked closed doors and bathroom areas The RJA checked a small closet easily accessible
to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made
the weapon safe and found that the firearm contained one magazine of five live rounds but none had
been chambered The camouflaged jacket owner who has no criminal history was identified As

Contact was made with an on duty manager of the club MSgt Joe Beliveau and FBI SA
Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put

Complainant says that he has probable cause to believe based upon the following facts that the
above listed things to be seized are now located upon the PREMISES OF CLUB 103 BEING A
COMMERCIAL BUILDING set forth above
Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the Illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club 103103 Collinsville Avenue East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial
establishment with a liquor license Over the course of sixteen months from November 2010 to
March 2012 there have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this
specific location and surrounding areas The specific calls to Club 103 are listed below
031112012- Stephan Holmes (AKA Tanky) was murdered in the parking lot
05082011- Battery Report (ESL PD)
0412412011- Disturbance (ESL PD)
11252010- Agents Received information that Darius Jenkins was working at Jesses
Place Jenkins was wanted in connection with the Dominique Brown murder in 2009
Based on these reports a walk through was conducted at this specific location Club 103
On April 27 2011 the Reporting Agent (RIA) and M1Sgt Joseph Beliveau conducted a walk
through of Club 103 as part of the WAVE task force
On April 27 2011 WAVE agents conduct a consensual walk through of the club Agents
readily detected a strong odor ofburnt cannabis in the basement of the club It was also obvious that
subjects were hollowing out their cigars and discarding the content in a trash can in the basement The
RIA knew this to be a common practice for marijuana users Two security guards were also carrying
concealed firearms One of those guards was a convicted felon The other guard advised agents that the
Mayor of East Saint Louis has mandated that they escort patrons to their vehicles when they leave the
club and that it was dangerous to do so Therefore he wore a bulletproof vest and carried a firearm
Based on Complainants training and experience Complainant has probable cause to believe that weapons of any form Catalogues magazines brochures books manuals and evidence of ordering the same relating to equipment or materials used in the preparation to traffic Cannabis and Controlled Substances Paraphernalia equipment and tools for packaging cutting weighing distributing storing processing and using Cannabis and Controlled Substances including but not
limited to the following scales baggies timers pipes cooking utensils Books records receipts checks check receipts passbooks bank statements and records documentation reflecting an account at a fmancial institution money drafts letters of credit money orders cashiers and bank checks loan records documents andor keys relating to safety deposit boxes credit card receipts and other items of evidencing the obtaining secreting transfer concealment andor expenditure ofmoney and other real or personal property Digital paging devices cellular and digital phones and the electronic messages contained therein Maps itineraries papers tickets schedules calendars statements lodging receipts passports visas an other items relating to interstate andor foreign travel plans

Special Agent (SA) Chris Lutz conducted a walk through of Club Posh as part of the WAVE
task force
At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view
The RJA checked closed doors and bathroom areas The RJA checked a small closet easily accessible
to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made
the weapon safe and found that the firearm contained one magazine of five live rounds but none had

Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put
on notice that if illegal activities continued inside the club the management and club ownership could
be potentially violating both state and federal statutes

At approximately 1205 am on January 282012 detail units converged on Club Posh during
an after hour party to search for illegal activity because these parties have resulted in large fights and
shootings in the past As agents arrived at the front door and approached the entrance the odor of burnt
cannabis could be smelled coming from the interior of the building foyer area As agents entered the
club club personnel were posted at the main door wearing t-shirts marked security Patrons were
sent through a metal detector checked with a metal detection wand and patted down for weapons and
contraband Several individuals were observed by WAVE personnel being checked for contraband
and weapons prior to being allowed entrance into the club as WAVE personnel were on the
premises
Agents entered the club common area and began looking for drugs and dmg use in plain view

to anyone once inside the club and found a camouflaged jacket lying on an upper shelf and a build
bench like area against the north wall As the RJA looked around the unfinished closet he observed a
handgun between the wall studs lying on the floor of the closet hidden from view by the built in bench
The RJA advised other detail units of the firearm and Deputy Justin Biggs provided a camera to the
RJA who photographed the firearm in its original position The RJA then retrieved the firearm made

Nick Mamls spoke with the manager and advised the manager of the found firearm and the strong odor
ofburnt cannabis coming from inside the club dance floor and foyer areas The manager was also put
on notice that if illegal activities continued inside the club the management and club ownership could
be potentially violating both state and federal statutes

Complainant says that he has probable cause to believe based upon the following facts that the
above listed things to be seized are now located upon the PREMISES OF CLUB 103 BEING A
COMMERCIAL BUILDING set forth above
Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the Illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club 103103 Collinsville Avenue East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial
establishment with a liquor license Over the course of sixteen months from November 2010 to
March 2012 there have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this
specific location and surrounding areas The specific calls to Club 103 are listed below
031112012- Stephan Holmes (AKA Tanky) was murdered in the parking lot
05082011- Battery Report (ESL PD)
0412412011- Disturbance (ESL PD)
11252010- Agents Received information that Darius Jenkins was working at Jesses
Place Jenkins was wanted in connection with the Dominique Brown murder in 2009
Based on these reports a walk through was conducted at this specific location Club 103
On April 27 2011 the Reporting Agent (RIA) and M1Sgt Joseph Beliveau conducted a walk
through of Club 103 as part of the WAVE task force
On April 27 2011 WAVE agents conduct a consensual walk through of the club Agents
readily detected a strong odor ofburnt cannabis in the basement of the club It was also obvious that
subjects were hollowing out their cigars and discarding the content in a trash can in the basement The
RIA knew this to be a common practice for marijuana users Two security guards were also carrying
concealed firearms One of those guards was a convicted felon The other guard advised agents that the
Mayor of East Saint Louis has mandated that they escort patrons to their vehicles when they leave the
club and that it was dangerous to do so Therefore he wore a bulletproof vest and carried a firearm
Based on Complainants training and experience Complainant has probable cause to believe that weapons of any form Catalogues magazines brochures books manuals and evidence of ordering the same relating to equipment or materials used in the preparation to traffic Cannabis and Controlled Substances Paraphernalia equipment and tools for packaging cutting weighing distributing storing processing and using Cannabis and Controlled Substances including but not

Complainant says that he has probable cause to believe based upon the following facts that the
above listed things to be seized are now located upon the PREMISES OF CLUB 103 BEING A
COMMERCIAL BUILDING set forth above
Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the Illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club 103103 Collinsville Avenue East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial
establishment with a liquor license Over the course of sixteen months from November 2010 to
March 2012 there have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this
specific location and surrounding areas The specific calls to Club 103 are listed below
031112012- Stephan Holmes (AKA Tanky) was murdered in the parking lot
05082011- Battery Report (ESL PD)
0412412011- Disturbance (ESL PD)
11252010- Agents Received information that Darius Jenkins was working at Jesses
Place Jenkins was wanted in connection with the Dominique Brown murder in 2009
Based on these reports a walk through was conducted at this specific location Club 103
On April 27 2011 the Reporting Agent (RIA) and M1Sgt Joseph Beliveau conducted a walk
through of Club 103 as part of the WAVE task force
On April 27 2011 WAVE agents conduct a consensual walk through of the club Agents
readily detected a strong odor ofburnt cannabis in the basement of the club It was also obvious that
subjects were hollowing out their cigars and discarding the content in a trash can in the basement The
RIA knew this to be a common practice for marijuana users Two security guards were also carrying
concealed firearms One of those guards was a convicted felon The other guard advised agents that the
Mayor of East Saint Louis has mandated that they escort patrons to their vehicles when they leave the
club and that it was dangerous to do so Therefore he wore a bulletproof vest and carried a firearm
Based on Complainants training and experience Complainant has probable cause to believe that weapons of any form Catalogues magazines brochures books manuals and evidence of ordering the same relating to equipment or materials used in the preparation to traffic Cannabis and Controlled Substances Paraphernalia equipment and tools for packaging cutting weighing distributing storing processing and using Cannabis and Controlled Substances including but not
limited to the following scales baggies timers pipes cooking utensils Books records receipts checks check receipts passbooks bank statements and records documentation reflecting an account at a fmancial institution money drafts letters of credit money orders cashiers and bank checks loan records documents andor keys relating to safety deposit boxes credit card receipts and other items of evidencing the obtaining secreting transfer concealment andor expenditure ofmoney and other real or personal property Digital paging devices cellular and digital phones and the electronic messages contained therein Maps itineraries papers tickets schedules calendars statements lodging receipts passports visas an other items relating to interstate andor foreign travel plans

Complainant says that he has probable cause to believe based upon the following facts that the
above listed things to be seized are now located upon the PREMISES OF CLUB 103 BEING A
COMMERCIAL BUILDING set forth above
Complainant Master Sgt Joseph Beliveau of the Illinois State Police has been a police
officer for 22 years with the Illinois State Police and has been assigned to the Working Against
Violent Elements (WAVE) federal task force MSgt Beliveau states under oath to the best of
his information and belief that the following is true
WAVE is a task force of federal state and local law agencies Due to the high crime
rate in East Saint Louis and the surrounding communities WAVE was created to patrol and
investigate in an attempt to curb violent crime During its existence information and reports
have shown violent crime can be traced to buildings with liquor licenses including but not
limited to convenience stores clubs and liquor stores within housing projects Further
WAVE gathered other intelligence reports which show that cannabis and other drugs are
used frequently by patrons in an open and obvious manner Based on these documented
intelligence reports the US Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the States
Attorneys Office have requested that WAVE investigate violent crimes and other criminal
activity within the nightclubs in this area
Club 103103 Collinsville Avenue East Saint Louis Illinois is a commercial
establishment with a liquor license Over the course of sixteen months from November 2010 to
March 2012 there have been numerous calls to the East Saint Louis Police Department to this
specific location and surrounding areas The specific calls to Club 103 are listed below
031112012- Stephan Holmes (AKA Tanky) was murdered in the parking lot
05082011- Battery Report (ESL PD)
0412412011- Disturbance (ESL PD)

through of Club 103 as part of the WAVE task force
On April 27 2011 WAVE agents conduct a consensual walk through of the club Agents
readily detected a strong odor ofburnt cannabis in the basement of the club It was also obvious that
subjects were hollowing out their cigars and discarding the content in a trash can in the basement The
RIA knew this to be a common practice for marijuana users Two security guards were also carrying
concealed firearms One of those guards was a convicted felon The other guard advised agents that the
Mayor of East Saint Louis has mandated that they escort patrons to their vehicles when they leave the
club and that it was dangerous to do so Therefore he wore a bulletproof vest and carried a firearm
