The police received information from a hot informant and came to conduct a search, where they found two guns dumped near my brother’s house in the backyard, and there are suspects arrested, including two sons who deny that it is theirs. The hot and dangerous information that was among the crowds that were in the yard of my house, raises a new one for me that the same agent was activated in order to bring the weapon and get involved.”
