I - AFFIDAVIT OF- SPECIAL AGENT DAVID M. DIBETTA -
_ 1. Your affiant is Special Agent David M. DiBetta. Your affiant has been a law
enforcement officer for over 19 years with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and
Explosives (ATF). As part of my duties, responsibilities and training, and in the course of my
i investigative experience, I have become familiar with the statutes, rules and regulations, policies
and procedures, relating to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, including A
but not limited to the possession of firearms by persons prohibited, and other laws enforced by .
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. I am a graduate of the Federal Law
Enforcement Training Center, Crlynco, GA, Criminal Investigation Course and the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms New Agent Training Course. I have been involved in the ‘
investigation of approximately 250 cases involving firearms violations. I have participated in the.
seizures of approximately 900 firearms and the seizures of approximately 25,000 rounds of
ammunition. _ .
2. Unless otherwise stated, the infomation in this affidavit is based upon your affiant’s .
personal knowledge and information provided by one or more Wilmington Police Officers with
personal knowledge of the facts.
P 3. The seizure of all the below stated evidence occurred on April 11, 2007, in the City of l
Wilmington, State and District of Delaware, as related to me by one or more Wilmington Police
Officers with personal knowledge ofthe seizure of the below items. _
4. Your affiant reviewed the computer criminal history information for the Defendant -
Brandon Tann, from the Delaware Justice Information System (DELJIS) and learned that the
defendant has a prior felony conviction for escape second degree from on or about January 25,
200'Z, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, a felony crime punishable by imprisonment
for a term exceeding one year.
5. I was informed of the following by one or more Wilmington Police Officers with
personal knowledge of the facts. A reliable informant contacted them on April 11, 2007, and
advised them that the defendant was at a specific location in Wilmington and was in possession
of a handgun. Wilmington Police Officers responded to the area and saw the defendant standing
in the general vicinity described by the informant. Two of the police vehicles that responded
were marked police vehicles. Vfhen the police vehicles arrived at that area in Wilmington,
Delaware, the defendant began quickly walking to the front of a residence there. At least one
officer gave several verbal commands for the defendant to stop, but the defendant did not stop.
The defendant entered the residence and slammed the door shut. One of the officers followed the
. defendant upstairs. As the officer reached the top of the stairs, the defendant exited the bathroom
and the officer took him into custody. ln the bathroom, an officer observed a 9mm Taurus
handgun. An officer advised the defendant of his Miranda rights and the defendant said that the
gun was not his but that he has bullets to a gun in his pocket. The defendant also said that he
flushed two bags of marijuana down the toilet. An officer recovered approximately 14 9mm
· rounds of ammunition from the defendant’s pants pocket. An officer also recovered the 9 mm

-- r s Case“tT074riTTY0`065¥M|i’T-_ii”[Yienif1i-ent --.-» I -Fi-led lSl2007 Page 4 of 4
Taurus loaded handgun from the bathroom and noticed that the ammunition from the gun and the ~
ammunition from the defendant’s pocket were identical. The owner of the residence stated that
he did not know the defendant and that the defendant was not welcomed in his house. The owner
iitrther stated that he did not own any weapons and did not _have any in his house. While being
transportedto the police station, an officer heard the defendant tell someone on the phone that ·
the police had found bullets on him but they did not catch him with the gun or drugs.
6. From training and experience, your aftiant knows that the above - mentioned firearm was _
manufactured in a state other than Delaware such that its possession in Delaware would have
necessarily required that the firearm had crossed state lines prior to its possession in Delaware
and such that the possession of that firearm in Delaware affected interstate and/or foreign
commerce.
Wherefore, based upon your affiant’s training and experience, your affiant believes that
there is probable cause to believe that the defendant violated 18 U.S.C. 922(g) and 924(a)(2) by
possessing in and affecting interstate and/or foreign commerce a firearm, after having previously -
been convicted of a felony crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year and t
respectfully requests that the Court issue a Criminal Complaint charging that offense. 4
