Based on my training and experience as a Law Enforcement Officer know that |

individuals buying and selling narcotics often communicate using the messaging and
chat features of mobile electronic devices. On or about the 18‘“ of January, 2018 |

began to review the text messages recovered by EPD from Mr. Lewis' phone. The
messages begin on or about the month of December of 2016. In his text messages Mr.
Lewis refers numerous times to making and/or selling THC/marijuana edibles, including
brownies, chocolates, and moonrocks.

In a text conversation with Andrew Moy, that occurred on or about the 14‘“ of
December 2017, Mr. Moy asks "Hm [how much] for 10 Chocolates". Mr. Lewis replies
"How much can you get em to pay? usually say 350 lol [laugh out loud]" Mr. Moy then
|

states "It‘s the same kid that bought 25" "That's deez". To which Mr. Lewis says "Ya, u
should charge him 350 for 10 then give u a cut as well" "Like $25". Mr. Moy replies
ill

"Ight". The conversation continues a little longer and ends with Mr. Moy saying "I need

the chocolates" and Mr. Lewis replying "My room".

On or about the 8‘“

March 2017, in a text conversation with Matt Winkeljohn, Mr.

them or more if you needed". Mr. Lewis replied, "Yeah lol thats cool. have 60 brownies
|

ready rn [right now] you can come now if u want". Mr. Winkeljohn responded, "Oh shit
that's hype, forsure. Be there soon". The "half O" referred to by Mr. Winkeljohn means
half an ounce, usually of marijuana.

does and that he can get some if she wants it. Ms Somerton states that she wants some
