"Imagine, sitting at your computer, it’s twilight. The front window blinds are open out to the street, it’s peaceful. You’ve been trying to sell your house for five months, and have only had two prospects. The prospective buyers that were supposed to come by today turned out to be a group of Century 21 realtors seeking a preview. No doubt to determine their bid when it goes up for auction due to foreclosure.

All of a sudden, the dogs began barking. Through the window I saw two men scurrying up to my front door, then a knock. I opened the door and there stood the county sheriff, a man I know. The second fellow I recognize as the chief of police. The sheriff says, “Hi JT… we need to talk with you.” Thinking it’s a social visit, I invite them in for a cup of coffee. My friend the sheriff says, “No, JT we will have to talk outside.” It was then I realized something was up.

We moved out onto the front lawn, and my friend Sheriff John Minor began the story, “JT, in a couple of minutes your home is going to be searched by DEA. A search warrant was issued this afternoon, which I have here. It seems that a group of realtors who viewed your house today, saw what they believe to be a methamphetamine lab in your downstairs bathroom!”

My reaction was a surprised laugh. “You’ve got to be kidding me John!” He replied, “I am really sorry about this, JT, I didn’t know about it until after the warrant was issued, and I am here to make sure that it stays low-key.” He continued, “I have told everyone involved in this that I will buy them the highest priced steak dinner in the county if they find anything drug related in your house.”

The warrant was in good order, so John signaled down the block and within seconds around the corner of my garage came marching four guys in full battle regalia, helmets with visors, body armor, full camouflage, with MP-5’s and M-16s. And then one other fellow in hazmat gear. The team was in my house less than five minutes, when the team leader came out and said, “there’s no meth lab in there… what is it you do in the bathroom, sir?”

I am a gunsmith, and work out of my house I restore antique firearm as a specialty, which involves annealing old brass cartridge cases, as well as manufacturing new cases out of other more modern brass for use in these 100+-year-old firearms, which involves heat and water. The heat is provided by a propane torch with which I heat the brass to a cherry red and then quench it in the sink filled with cold water. My downstairs bathroom which I share with my cats, the place for their litter boxes, food dishes etc. is where I do my brass annealing. The process must be done in a dimly lit room, but, it gives off fumes. So on the counter next to the sink there is a box fan with a length of drier vent tubing that attaches to the bathroom ceiling fan and keeps the buildup of noxious fumes from the annealing process from filling the room when I’m working.

It was at this point that the young man, the team leader, smiled and shook my hand, saying, “God bless you Sir! You are keeping the old ones alive.” Referring to the fact that I restore old firearms. At this point we all stood around and chatted for about 20 minutes. My first question was, “Are realtors being trained by DEA to sniff out drugs these days?”

The answer was that real estate companies are giving DEA courses on how to identify certain types of drug manufacturing processes, and how to report them. Any time a methamphetamine lab is suspected, DEA must be called in because of the hazardous materials involved. The short answer is yes.

I asked my friend Sheriff John Minor what would’ve happened had he not known and came to warn me of what was about to happen, what would have been the standard procedure? His answer was chilling. Because I was there, the house was occupied so all exits would have been covered, the main force would have hammer-jacked open the front door and quickly entered, locked and loaded.

The look on the man’s face told the story, it was obvious that it would’ve been a horrible mistake, in this particular case it would have turned very ugly very quickly. As it turned out what was described by the realtor in the complaint that caused the warrant to be issued was fantasy, a delusion, or a fabrication… a fantasy that could very easily have gotten people killed.

Everytime I try to highlight something in a big post it just scrolls like crazy to the top... very annoying....

[Unintelligable Name]

Pretty funny stuff, entire society is a bunch of spies!

Not funny about what could have happened, but funny all the same.

[egypt]

Your Sheriff is a good man!  I am so happy he was there for you!

oh my.  We need to get The Obama Deception to the school teachers and all community workers!

Love, e

[PainInDaBrain]

  That is just surreal.

I hope people appreciate the lengths that JT goes to finding stuff out for you   

[sociostudent]

Wow, that's incredible...the tyranny's everywhere, man...I'm just glad it all got worked out, and they realized their mistake.

The forum wouldn't be the same without you, JT.

[donnay]

Yes, I read this.  J.T. you do have a guardian angel, that is for sure.  It could have turned out very tragic indeed.  We need to expose this story far and wide and tell everyone about Century 21 Snitches!

Indeed, the fail is with them.

[Mr.C]

doesnt matter how nice they are IF someone had gotten killed they would have done everything they could to cover it up..very sad

surely you had to expect this JT letting strangers in ur house

now u can set up a real lab with no worries haha..im just J/K 

[Hawkwind]

sorry to hear this but maybe it was innocent mistake, someone probably mistook the gun making equipment for a meth lab lol ....probably some worry warts with snitch programming jumping to conclusions.

[CarolinaWildcat]

I am glad this turned out okay for you JT. Damn. That could have gone south so fast,good sherrif.

[Freeski]

Unreal. Thank God for the good guys!

PS - Chemicalrain - I get that same bizarre scrolling thing too (I thought I was the only one)

[rawiron1]

Hi.

Find out who the realtors are and have them BANNED from your property.  If one of them was YOUR agent then FIRE him!  Ban those tattletale realtors from your property!  Have your Sheriff friend "trespass" them from your property!

NOW I see why you were getting so hot about the Bill of Rights!

"The answer was that real estate companies are giving DEA courses on how to identify certain types of drug manufacturing processes, and how to report them."

So, the DEA can't come into your house without a warrant but they can give real estate agents a one hour course, send them into your home (at which point they are acting as deputy agents), then get a warrant based on the "agents" one hour training course? Is this only for meth labs?

I think it's time to consult with a lawyer.

[centexan]

Yeah, a lawyer.  Unless you actually DO have aluminum foil and coleman fuel on premises, in which case you can't win, because those things were on the warrant.  That team leader sounds like a real piece of work.  Good thing you didn't have to bust a hundred year old cap on his ass.  He'd have felt different about the "old ones" then.

[Pupil]

You're one cool customer, JT. You handled that situation perfectly.  Buy that Sherriff a beer for me, will ya?

[rustygunn]

[Elvis]

You're one cool customer, JT. You handled that situation perfectly.  Buy that Sherriff a beer for me, will ya?

And ask him what he was planning to do with that steak now that they didn't find anything ...

[chrsswtzr]

This proves that there is a God, and he was definitely by your side with this one JT.

I'm so glad you're 'Ok', and they didn't plant anything in your house to validate their unreasonable search of your dwelling! Sometimes these things can go horribly horribly wrong even when the resident truly isn't housing illegal contraband/operations because of law enforcement egoism and chalice.

So, they'll issue a warrant and raid a house on the word of a REAL ESTATE AGENT?

Are you on crack?

[37]

I have a friend who works for the cable company.  She noted someone's account after a strange phone call.  The technician who went to the house also noted it as strange.  Lots of computers and bedrolls, but nothing else.

Two days later, my friend is called into the manager's office.  There are two FBI agents there and they ask her some very basic questions.  The notes on the account ended up at the FBI.  She didn't know how.  She felt like she had possibly helped.

I told her the FBI is probably watching a house full of Malaysian computer geeks trying to get their phd.

Don't trust anyone who comes to your house. 


Also, JT's story illustrates how unnecessary Waco was.  The sheriff could have picked up Koresh for questioning anytime.  The ATF got what they wanted on 2/28/93...which is what they had hoped for in Arkansas on 4/20/85 at The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord compound.  When will they learn?

Those guys in all of the gear should have felt ridiculous afterward. 

You should have suggested they use the scoop to investigate the litter boxes... 

[φυδγε]

Are you on crack?

I think we all are.  I would never have expected this.  The police state is alive and rearing its ugly head.

[Freeski]

It's like the Twilight Zone.

[hyperqube]

maybe it would be easier to sell the house if you did take that stuff down though.

[John Galt]

JT, you handled the situation brilliantly. Thank you for sharing all the details of your experience. We are very fortunate to have you here with us brother.

And you were right about what you told me the other day. I do worry too much

[Nailer]

Thank god they didn't  bash in his door throw him to the ground and tazer and repeatedly punch him .  Glad to hear that it all was calm and quiet as it could have went very bad. 

Now  how long will this stay on his personal record / police database as his house was warranted for drugs even though it was 100%  BS ?

[TheHouseMan]

I think it's cool that you know your local sheriffs personally. I think it's pathetic that neighbours would tell the police on you!

Now that's a good question!

They will issue a warrant based on the word of drug addict or known criminal.  Remember this story

This is the real story of what went down

Thank God, JT and his family are alright.  Thank God there are still good sheriffs and police officers around.

You nailed it! What better way to circumvent a warrant than to have "agents" otherwise known as "informants" doing the snooping for you? This gives them probable cause to get a search warrant, when they otherwise would have no cause or reason. And if they are in fact doing these classes, that adds an element of "expert witness" so the claims sound more crediable. What a scam.

These people are standard issue snitches. And they live right next door to all of us.

[jimwill]

Good thing they knew JT - otherwise - -

Most people are not personal friends of the local sheriff. I'm glad for JT that he is!

[agentbluescreen]

Reminds me of the time I reported my car stolen. All of a sudden they're looking around my living room and one spots an old faux-oriental dollar store rug in front of the bathroom door.

She squinted suspiciously, looked at me really funny and said:

     "Is that a prayer rug?"

[Stan]

now u can set up a real lab with no worries haha..im just J/K 

 

[BlueBaron]

Glad everything worked out for you, Alls well that ends well.

[adissenter2]

Moral of the story... GET TO KNOW YOUR SHERIFF, the Caption of the Police Department and all other law enforcers in your area 

let them know who you are & bring this story as an example of what you would consider how a County Sheriff does his job correctly, he could have pulled jurisdiction and told the DEA to F off, but then we wouldn't have this story as an example would we

Cheers to JTs Sheriff
