>> he says if he finds out he did something like this woe kill him. >> lives are in your hands up here. could you get a guy killed in here by leaking the wrong information or saying the wrong thing. >> you have to know how to adapt and that's the key, adaptation. >> got anything else on you? >> nope.

>> 135, we got a gun. >> stay forward, all right? >> you understand your rights? >> for most chicago street cops, a criminal case ends with an arrest. that's where the story begins for intelligence investigators at the cook county jail. >> it's no longer lock the door, sit back and throw your feet up on the couch. it's not lets wait and see what happens in court, that's not the case. there's active investigations that are going on here. >> these detainees aren't just competing for the camera's attention. they are all looking for a way out. 95% of inmates at county are awaiting trial. >> this isn't the first time in here either, man. you know, you have seen worse, brother. >> i have seen worse. this is like a penitentiary now. >> you see how nasty it is here. you got flies, you got rat, you

got fleas, everything. >> faced with the prospect of serving hard time, many gang members will break the code of no snitching in order to help themselves. >> the guys on the street every day the code, i'm sure it exists outside. when you come in and they forget about you, you here for three months, nobody comes to visit you, nobody sends you any money, nobody calls you, nobody accepts your calls, it doesn't exist anymore. >> the criminal intelligence unit, or ci up the, capitalizes on this unique opportunity to recruit informants. these investigators work for the cook county sheriff, gathering intel to solve cases on the streets. they also help to manage security inside the jail. >> they moved a ton of people, 'cause 11 guys got stabbed here. >> ciu members closely monitor who is coming into the jail on a daily basis. when an arrestee arrives from an area hot spot, they will target him to see if he is willing to talk. >> anybody in here from maywood. >> stone park?

lieden? let me talk to you. step out. >> more often than not, inmates themselves reach out to the ciu. first-time informants, like this one, are trying to arrange a plea bargain with the state's attorney's office. >> i'm an investigator from the gang intel unit. received information reference a homicide. i can't make you no promises, you understand what? i can't tell you you are get out of jail but based on the information you provide, the state's attorneys or prosecutor will be advised you have cooperated with an investigation. that's fair, correct? >> yes, sir. >> because if i tell you i'm getting you out of jail, i'm lying to you and i don't want to start off, like, lying to you. ultimate goal here is for everybody to go home. why is he talking to me about it? everybody says i want to go home. why do you want to talk to me in reference to the homicide? >> well, because the person who told me these things, i believe

he is very credible because he has been here on triple homicide and he was bragging about one he got away w i be honest with you, i was gonna give this inform together proper authorities and been thinking maybe there would be some consideration shown for me cooperating, i'm not going to lie. >> and that's fair to say. how i came to you? i came to you professionally, i told you i can't get you out of jail. you're going to get yourself out of jail. his ultimate goal is freedom. i'm locked up. what can i do to get out of jail? i heard a story. do you know the locations? >> yes, sir. >> give me the location? >> actually it is lake county, north chicago. >> lake county, north chicago? >> yes, sir. 2001. >> beautiful. that's good. in 2001, right? >> 2001. >> all right. what else did he tell you? >> that he fired into the windshield of a car that was backing up. >> do you know what kind of a gun was it? >> it was a .357 short-barrel. >> he tells me where the gun,

the offenders and approximately the year that it happens. that's key. that's four little things that you need is the key right there. all right. then what happens? >> he hit the driver. >> so as he shot the gun, allegedly he hits the driver? >> struck the driver in the head killing him. he did kill him. >> do you know yes shot him at? did he tell you where he shot him at? back of the head, shoulders? >> he said shot -- >> that's okay. i rather you on honest. honesty geese long watch we notify lake county, call them up and tell them there was a homicide and they will be able to tell if you, in fact, it happens the way he says it happens. you willing to testify to this? >> um, under certain circumstances, yes. >> you willing to testify? 'cause that is the key thing. 'cause if you're telling me this and lake county guys come and investigate and question you in reference to this they are probably going to need to you testify. i have done this before in the past. they probably bring you to grand jury, put you under oath.

>> okay. >> and the legality. if i reach out for these guys, this is the real deal. that's why i'm saying, are you comfortable with all this if i go out of my way? >> i'm willing to. >> are you willing to do all of this? he was hesitant at first, if he says no then the information to me would have been until you and void, because once you start something, you have to finish it. take care of yourself. >> things like that cold-blooded killing, right there. >> i like to get involved in homicides, 'cause the fact i can solve a homicide, i can bring a closure and justice. it will continue until i get a definite answer. >> but investigator franco doma knows that getting to the truth can take time. after vetting the intel they gather from inmates, ciu investigators share their leads with outside law enforcement agencies. this training seminar is for

suburban police. the purpose is to highlight the ciu's capabilities and help officers identify the gangs spread nothing their neighborhoods. >> all right, guys, guys and girls, we are going to get started. welcome to the sheriff's department. my name is steven bouffard, i've been with the sheriff's department 13 years, two years in gangs, i have worked all over this compound. give you a little history on the cook county jail. this jail here is probably the largest single-site facility in the united states of america. we have a daily population of about 10,000 inmates, just about every incident in this jail is gang related. violations on their own members. they do hits on staff. they have 24 hours a day to think about ways to get over on us every single day. what we try to do here with the ciu department is track them. >> can tell, that's good man. don't have respect for your organization. come out real time, right?

>> we try to have an informer on every deck of the compound, that's literally thousands of informants. every single one of them can call our office direct, a lot can call our cell phones directly from the tiers and tell us what's going on. >> since january, 2008, the ciu has solved 20 murders and more than 150 drug cases. but with its limited budget and staff, the unit faces an uphill battle against chicago's rapidly growing gang problem. >> gang members per capita by state, we have the most gang members per population of anywhere in this country. we beat california. more gang bangers on the street than we have police. so they probably getting over on us every day. >> in the month of august this is the murderers in the city of chicago in the month of august. okay? the month of august. moving out from the city, guys and they are coming to your suburbs. >> a lot of suburban police departments don't have the manpower to have guys specifically assigned to work gangs. >> i can guarantee you will have hundreds of active gang members in your town.

>> if it's a rather upscale area where gangs are just starting to infiltrate, the policemen may not have any concept of what's going on. so, down here, we have a great number of informants, we gather tons of information relative to the gangs. >> east side. >> where east side? >> east side of chicago. for real. >> for real? >> for real. >> what's going on? a lot of violence there. >> kids getting shot. >> who is doing it? >> the gang is doing it you know who doing it. >> that's why i got tighter control, control the violence. >> look, the kings. over 50. over 50 and slim. that who going up. >> exactly who did it? flip from king to stones. >> you need to know how to talk to these guys. >> there is a war out there. >> how you know that? >> come on what's my name? >> you have to know something about their gang, their neighborhood, their chiefs to set them back like, okay, maybe i can't spin this guy out of here. he knows something.

>> investigators at county understand that nothing can be taken at face value. every inmate has an agenda and for some, their goal is counterintelligence. >> they are very calculating in what they are doing. they will try and see just what we know or they will try and turn us in a different direction. >> the most important thing is verifying the information that you received. >> you've got to be thorough. you've got to be meticulous and you've got to have some street sense to you. >> like a cat and mouse game. >> coming up next on "the squeeze," the sheriff's police target heroin ring in chicago's south suburbs and try to flip a suspect at the crime scene. >> well, nobody takes the weight, then everybody takes a ride. that's how it works.

>> coming out. >> she was down stairs along with another man. >> we got about 7 grams? >> yeah. >> enough for a penitentiary stay. >> harvey, illinois, a south suburban chicago hot spot for gangs. it's early september and the cook county sheriff's police take down a crack ring they have had under surveillance for the past two weeks. lieutenant john blair, a 13-year veteran with the sheriff's police, and his team have seized about 530 pounds of narcotics to date in raids like this in 2009. >> no matter how many people you lock up, no matter how many people you tie into an operation, there's always somebody there that's gonna step up to the plate and take over for the dope dealer that's been locked up. it's all about money. and they are gonna look at it as a business opportunity. they look at it as we may be doing them a favor. somebody will always be there to step you up and take over. cash is king when you are a gang banger.

>> gang members outnumber police by a ratio of 8 to 1 in cook county. faced with insurmountable odds, authorities curb what gang violence they can. >> the way to go -- stretching across 1,000 square miles. >> the gangs are inherently very smart in the sense that they will go to the areas of least resistance. a lot of these suburban apartments are horribly undermanned and so we've become sort of the layer over everything else. we don't have any geographical limitations. we go everywhere. >> and the critical key to their success, jailhouse intel. investigator drake carpenter talks to 30 to 50 inmates a week. he is sussing out this wannabe informant, hoping he can provide an in to the south side drug trade.

he is from bridgeport. he don't really gang bang. he is not really gang banging, you know, just mostly buying dope and stuff but he said maybe if add female with him, you know who i'm thinking about that he would be able to do buys with with them, maybe like an intro. >> they let you into the projects? >> but he is from a local area, the bridgeport area, hot area on narcotics-wise. he buys narcotics in a project area that is real hard to get into. he says he takes people in and out with him and so aid like to pull him out, do an intro with one of our undercover officers, maybe even a female officer, somebody that would match up to his characteristics. and then he could probably walk them in. >> so you break into cars to support your habit is that -- i mean, how do you get your money? >> hustle and ask people. >> how's your background?

if you work with us, you're going to have to get yourself cleaned up, right? >> that is something you do want to do right? you do want to get help? we definitely like to work with you. would that be something you would be willing to do? you know what i'm saying? more than likely you are going to see me again, my partner, come and holler at you. you cool with that? you sure, right? we pull you out, you're not going to act like you don't know what i'm talking about? i appreciate you, right? >> make sure when do you get out, you're going to be 100%,. >> you can't be riding both sides of the fence. you can't work with us and then go get high or be high when we are trying to work work a number with you. can't happen. you are no good to us, okay? all right. >> before investigators take the next step with this potential informant, they look up his arrest record. what they find immediately raises a red flag. he lied to them about his case history. >> his track record is now telling on him, right? if you look at it, his natural progression i'm sure is his drug addiction. '05 one case, '06, one case,

'09, one case locked up for and now another one in '09. >> everything about a confidential informant or ci must be investigated, whether's first-time informer or an established source. >> a ci is a necessary evil in law enforcement. most of them, 99% of the time they, themselves, are criminals and they are giving you information to benefit themselves, not to benefit you. they are trying to get something out of you. either they are trying to get money to buy their drugs because they have a drug habit. they are trying to beat a court case. so, what you're doing is you're -- you're getting involved with criminals on a semipersonal basis. >> by the time the ciu turns an informant over to the sheriff's police for an operation, they have vetted him. >> 2007. >> but things can go wrong with even the most dependable source. that's the case when the ciu and

the sheriff's hbt team follow a street informant's tip and launch a raid in suburban chicago heights. >> got the search warrant signed by the judge this morning. the house is supposed to contain a quantity of heroin. in excess a kilo, all packaged up and ready to go so, see what we can find. >> we have possible two target he is at this location, a male and a female. we are going to caravan over. we are going to transition in a location right off of division route 30, at which time we are going to stack up, make entry into the building. our target locations 1 c charles. >> this is a hot area. it is hot outside. so everybody is going to be out and about on the street. everybody is going to be running around. as soon as they see that caravan and they see our van, the phones are going to start ringing, all right? so when we jump off the van and go to assault, make sure you watch your background. >> police search warrant. open the door.

>> authorities take the alleged dealer and his girlfriend into custody but an initial search of their home fails to yield any narcotics. so, investigators try to flip each of them separately. >> you got opportunity to help yourself, that's what you want to do. >> help myself what? >> they don't issue warrants for no reason. you feel me? >> yeah they do. >> i'm going to tell you on this time they didn't. let's keep it real, this is not the first time you've been arrested, bro. that's what we're asking you. who is going to take the weight for whatever gets found, if something gets found? we just want to know how many cars we need. one for you and one for her or just one total? how you doing? if they find something in the house, it's yours or his?

>> ain't nothing of mine in the house. >> maybe something you didn't know about. >> ain't nothing up in the house. >> you got background? >> mm-hmm. >> yeah? yeah? well, the dogs are in there barking, the dogs only bark when they find drugs. whatever they find in the house is yours or his? either somebody takes the weight or everybody takes the ride. >> i don't know what you're talking about. >> show to her, she doesn't believe it. >> he has got the history for drugs and he is the guy who was named in the warrant, so i was happy it was his and not the girlfriend's. >> he trying to put it on you. lock her up. she's on the lease. lock her up. i will come bond her out. he is going to send you to jail.

that's real man, right? >> the amount that he had left in there was a much smaller amount than the informant said was supposed to be there. this was well hidden underneath the pipes in the bathroom sink. so, we might have missed the bigger stash. >> this is what i need you to do i need to you write a statement saying it is not yours and you get out of here right now i uncuff you and you walk back in your house and it's over. >> in the streets and in jail, everyone's an opportunist and police use this to their advantage. after today's raid, investigators circle back to their informant and conclude that his intel was good. the problem, they believe, was that they arrived too late and that the target had already sold his larger stash. authorities expected to arrive with a kilo of heroin but left with only a few ounces. >> the frustration is you know somebody is doing wrong but you got to catch them with their

hand in the cookie jar, otherwise you are not building a case. you only have to catch them once. >> up next, a new day, a new case. >> all right. all right. he is moving. he's moving. >> a battle of wits unfolds between police and their targets. >> hey, both hands on him. i got him covered. both hands. >> while informants play both sides. >> i played the game and i played it well.

where this camera position is right now, here, looking north. looking north right at the house. >> a lot of the drug dealers are coming to the suburbs and they are changing the way they do things it takes more officers, more surveillance cars, different tactics and techniques to get to these guys. here is a simple layout of the house. our front door here is going to be the a side. b, c and d. a will be our primary breach. the d side will be our secondary breach. any questions? all right. let's go.

>> today, the cook county sheriff's police are targeting an alleged drug dealer in south suburban robbins. they will hit his house based on intel from a trusted street informant. >> we tried to put as much time and distance between our informant's giving us intelligence and the time we take it down and if there is a lucrative narcotics business, there's so many people coming in and out, they never know who's the one that turned on them. >> but good intel alone won't guarantee a successful bust. timing and luck dictate the outcome as well. >> on the ground! >> open the door. police search warrant, open the door!

>> it's in the toilet. he flushed it. he was in there laying on the ground already. the toilet was running. so, it is what it is. >> i'm getting frustrated. i'm used to winning things. >> it will be fine. >> he is sweating. he knows. >> the raid fell short. police believe that the alleged dealer flushed his stash as they stormed in. >> for as much as we plan and preplan, something always changes. you never know what's gonna happen t can turn in a minute. you never know. >> in the age of cell phones and text messaging, many gangs run their own surveillance operations against police.

>> there they go. yeah, they know we're here. so, just keep your eyes open. they were just yelling. >> gang leaders know that someone in their ranks could always be snitching, so they adapt accordingly. >> you have to come into this already accepting that law enforcement is gonna get information. my strategy was never let the left hand know what the right hand's doing. you hand pick your individuals that you want to know certain information. >> this former high-ranking gang member, whom we will refer to as lincoln, let us sit in while he shared his insider knowledge with investigators. >> i knew that if there was a leak, that it had to be one of these chosen few and i set my security up just like that. i would let the guy on the front of the building know that i need him to watch the guy on the back of the building.

and i would let the guy on the back of the building know that i wanted him the guy on the front of the building. so all along, everybody was watching each other. my rule was i didn't trust nobody. >> lincoln first began working with the ciu as an inmate facing his third felony charge. he cut a deal with the state's attorney's office, served some time and is now a street informant. he's never been charged with assault or murder, though his violent reputation proceeds him. >> when we don't hear from him on a weekly basis, we start to wonder where he's at. we have to stay in contact with this guy because we know the potential of violence escapable of doing. >> back in the day, it was a game, it was a game to me, all the way down to innocent drive-boys, organized hits, all of it was just a game but as you get older, you do get wiser and you start seeing the repercussions of your actions. >> the gamble that the ciu took when they recruited lincoln has

paid off. his intel has helped nab four convicted murderers and more than 20 drug dealers. >> this younger generation, i mean, it's like every man for themselves. ain't nobody gonna do the rest of their life in a small cell for me, you know? and just like can't nobody expect me to do the rest of my life in a cell for them. so the rules have changed and it's just the way it is.

>> as authorities try to outsmart a savvier and more ruthless generation of criminals, they must rely on a broader network of informants than ever before. >> they know how to run a drug operation. they know how to commit crimes. this is what they do. >> and the more sources that police can develop within with the same drug ring or gang, the better. >> you know what maybe we can put that tachard near 130 and martin luther king at the bar and as soon as they see him, just take it right down. >> yeah, we will just surround that target location. >> yeah, we will just stay right there. right. okay. that's fine. >> tonight, sergeant jason o'malley and the sheriff's police plan to take down an alleged south suburban crack dealer. they received a tip that he is carrying a stash of coke in his van. their goal, to arrest him and

then convince him to set up his supplier. it can end here and the guy will tell us, i don't care, man, i'm going to take the hit, i'll go to jail or say, you know what dude, i will make that phone call. >> however, while another unit watches the target, he appears to realize he is under surveillance. >> our target is parked right behind me. >> tell mike to bring it. >> mike, bring it. bring it. bring it. terry, give us an exact location. >> terry, are you following him? >> i am now. going northbound on st. lawrence are. >> all right. all right, he is moving. he is moving. >> take him down. james, where you at? stand by. go hands on him. i got him covered. go hands. go hands. okay.

okay. we're good. we're good. >> better get in it. tell me how to open it or -- i'm gonna get in it. >> man, i don't even know what you're talking about. >> tell me how to open it. >> what? >> the trick. tell me how to open it. >> do what you got to do. >> air bag. >> shouldn't be real hard, should be soft. should be soft like, you know, this. right, like this. it is rock hard. he has remotes every where. >> this ain't a factory wire. >> wires in there? but if the dog ain't hitting on it, it might be empty. >> police fail to find any drugs in the van. either their informant's intel was off or the target hadn't picked up his stash yet.

>> we came up empty this time. they won this time, but you know, we will go back out there. >> sometimes they have theirs, other times we have ours. >> bad guys win today. >> beautiful thing. >> yeah, come on. >> what is your name? >> you look like that dude that was on tv. that was you, huh? you cool? >> everyone's got an angle. when you're sitting here and you're in a small cell and just staring at the ceiling thinking what am i gonna do i got to get out of here, all you're thinking about an angle that will make somebody salivate. >> going home for sure? >> trying to use your our

barometer to figure out what is real. >> one means of integrating narcotics traffic is through illegal immigrants. because they are often the ones packing the cocaine, heroin and cannabis for large-scale suppliers, they know who is moving the dope before it even reaches the street gangs. [ speaking spanish ] >> my spanish is not proper book spanish. i learned it on the streets of mexico. i was there three years. i prefer dealing with immigrants. they are looking for somebody to trust them a little bit. i allow them to feel with thank with me and just kind of work the situation from there. >> immigrant detainees, like this man can offer key intel.

he is a former pack worker with for a narcotics deal we are stash houses less than a mile from the jail. >> he is not imposing. doesn't really have the gang tattoos on him but these are the workers. who do you think sun loading those trucks of kilos and pounds of marijuana? this it is -- it is these guys. [ speaking spanish ] >> he says the guy steals from every not be neighborhood, he sells a lot of guns to the local gangs. sell kids guns, he doesn't care

much he said the guy is like the mafia. he says if he finds out he did he says if he finds out he did something like this, he'd kill him. i said are you sure? he said absolutely. with the help of his informant, davis and his colleagues at the ciu and the sheriff's police begin to tract supplier. they cannot reveal how they did this because of police confidentiality but a typical stakeout operation can take weeks, even months to execute. that's the reality of dealing with today's sophisticated criminals. >> these guys, they have their own security, their own lookouts, they have their own everything. so it might not be smart smart but they are smart enough to

know to set up surveillance. >> they are doing what we are doing and they have unlimited resources. >> coming up later, davis' informant helps bring down a major player in the drug trade. >> taking them down? here we go. >> holy -- oç

>> you have to go out and get information. information doesn't come to you. i always bring my camera with me when i drive 'cause i like to know who is dominating you the area. if i see any kind of graffiti, i take a picture of it and i try to decipher it. that is key for me.

telling you where you're entering. this is day mon'sville, damon, you just entered their area. >> as far as drugs and gangs go, they don't know any boundaries. the gangs don't stop at the city border. you can have a gang right at our doorsteps that is conducting a business out in the suburbs. >> average gang member know what is this means. average police officer doesn't. and this is a gang. if you look at it, aign, almighty imperial gangster nation, dominated from corbin. now moving out to the suburbs. >> chicago police under their former superintendent, their policy was to chase every gang member in the city of chicago out to the suburbs. >> yeah, banger. full hustle.

>> is it winter out here? if you look at this we are not even in wintertime and look what he is carrying in his pocket. now, in the event these guys get in a fight somewhere, what do you think this guy is going to be wearing? can he be described to the -- by the public to the police? no way. >> the suburbs are now inundated with the gang members from chicago and it had to do with a lot of the public housing being torn down and when it was being torn down, the people had to be relocated. this is where the violence starts because now we are taking a street corner drug operation that was very profitable and we are moving it out to a suburban area where maybe there was a different gang that is controlling the area and that's where the violence is going to occur. >> 2-6, joker. 2-6, 38. >> e-mails every day from the different agencies they work with, hey, i found this picture, hey, i found this tattoo, what does this mean? what does that mean? we go to guys, the experts with the tattoos and stuff. we don't know what it is, we will take it into jail and let them tell us what it s.

>> chicago south suburbs, including robbins and chicago heights represent a hot bed of drug activity. >> look over your right. see the girl with the orange shirt doing the guy's hair, they are selling drugs right now. we hit that place twice and got drugs out of there both times, one time with the gang unit, the other time with the s.w.a.t. team. see the little girls, little babies there? nine times out of ten when we hit a house, there is little kids like that there. >> right. >> now, these are commonly known as the little baggies they practice their drugs or marijuana in, they just toss out here. as you can see, little kids and everything playing out here. unfortunately, these are the things they have to pick up.

>> even cook county jail itself, based eight miles south of downtown chicago, occupies land in gang-infested territory. >> this is a big deal. somebody took a lot of guts to come over here and do this, disrespect the 2-6 from over here. you can see our office building from here, as a matter of fact. we got boots as far as we see. >> right now, i mean, of course, latin kings, the five-point crown. then i've got 2 and 5 representing 25th. then with the mlk, that's gonna be malard latin kings. we know they are from 25th and malard. >> what you have is the kings from 25th street. we are standing on 31st street right now. they have made it down six blocks to say that this is their neighborhood, too. i would say this was done last night. obviously, i didn't see it yesterday and we both travel this route in and out to work, so, this is definitely done yesterday. >> as gangs expand their operation and grow increasingly brazen, investigators must continually broaden their own

network of informants to outmaneuver them. >> cases don't fall in your lap. you got to go out there you got to talk to people you might do 25 cold interviews, maybe get one half-decent meet out of that you can't let it discourage you. you will go weeks with nothing and one day your phone will ring and have the biggest case of your career popping off. >> when "the squeeze" returns -- >> read him his rights. >> a ciu informant delivers a big pay day.

[ speaking spanish ] >> several weeks after investigator mike davis received intel about an alleged drug ring on chicago's south side, authorities get ready to bust the leader. they've learned that a 50-pound

shipment of cannabis has arrived at the target's home. their plan, grab him on his way to a sale, arrest him and then flip him to nab other local traffickers. >> they have got a tight hold on this area around the jail. and you know, just get one, try to squeeze him, flip him. you know, next guy, next guy, next guy. it is a never ending battle but you know what, that is what we signed up to do. >> the guy's still in the house. he never left. so, we are going to set up again. >> we are going into an area where he is allegedly going to go through the directions that they gave us isn't going to go to a t, it never happens. we know the area where he is headed to, so we have to be somewhere between to make sure we are able to make the stop. and catch this guy with the merchandise or product on him. >> they are right here. there is the van there. >> going straight. he is right. son of a --

>> they are taking him down? there we go. >> who's in the car with you? >> friend. >> friend? >> relax. [ speaking spanish ]

>> put it on the floor? >> yeah, spread it out. >> yeah, it's pretty strong.

>> it's so hard. >> it's maybe like, what, 30 pounds, you think? >> supposed to bring out 50 but said he only had 30 at home. >> so between 30 and 50 pounds? >> somewhere in that range. >> probably 1200 a pound? a pretty decent amount. it's a great hit. >> now let's go to the residence, see what we find at the residence, the individual -- the individual gave us a written consent. so, take it to the next level now. >> he knew he was positive. knew we had him. the guy took his weight, signed a consent. >> with their target already cooperating, authorities hit his house and make an unexpected discovery. >> this is what we found upstairs in the attic. >> a tech 9. >> decent, huh? >> thank you. >> we got a decent gun off the

street are. you know, got a considerable amount of marijuana and hopefully this guy spends some time in jail. he knows what we have. nine times out of ten, he is gonna want to work his case off and he will turn us onto the bigger, better push and that's who ultimately we want with. >> for now the target faces multiple charges. if convicted, he could serve up to 20 years behind bars. davis' informant helped police score a win and knocked one more criminal out of the gang. >> this guy is starting to open up the worst for me. this is the second time this guy has come through for me and he is promising me as long as everything is smooth, he is good for more. >> what about the victory dance? who is going to do the victory dance? >> timo. >> victory dance. >> he never done no victory dance. >> work it out. >> all this came from the jail. this is where it started. this is where it ended up.
