I'm just surprised it took this long.

Interesting case - the house that was bugged and searched was not his primary residence. There does seem to be a warrant somewhere in all this mess, but it may or may not have been legally obtained.

Normally, investigators leave a copy of a search warrant and a receipt for items taken once a house is searched. But in the Andrews case, investigators obtained clearance to secretly search the house, which they did July 17, and not notify him until 90 days afterward, O'Hara said.

In the affidavit, the ATF agent contended that earlier disclosure to Andrews could "seriously jeopardize the investigation."

Another court document says that officers secretly entered the house and saw drug trafficking materials.

O'Hara said: "I don't know that I've seen a warrant like this before."
I wonder who they obtained clearance from.

Seems the feds are slipping down the slope, but who can argue that catching Tyrone selling drugs to the Crips is a bad thing. ..bleh.
