field of investigative techniques and laws related to Stalking.

3. That Gregozek forwarded Det. Trabka several complaints involving Louis Santo (DOB 1212311974) as the
suspect. The first complaint to the Los Angeles Police Department was received on 0l-07-2011. The complaint
was filed by Attomey Frank DeMartini who is General Counsel for Nu Image, Incorporated, which is a Motion
Picture Production company. Nu Image Inc. recently produced the movie "The Expendables", in which the lead
role was played by Sylvester Stallone. Nu Image is located at 6423 Wilshire BL, Los Angeles, CA. The business
occupies first and second floor and has 50 employees working in the offrce during day time. DeMartini reported
that sometime during September of 2010, after the release of the motion picture, "The Expendables" a male
suspect repeatedly called the office. Initially the suspect spoke with Kevin King and John Thompson. The suspect
identified himself as Louis Santo and told them that he should be compensated for working on the film (The
Expendables). The suspect was calling fuom203-435-2288 which is a cell phone line out of Connecticut.

4.That initially Santo was not taken seriously and was advised to speak with the Attorney, Frank DeMartini.
DeMartini informed Santo to consult with an attorney about the claim and have an attorney contact Attomey
DeMartini. Santo continued to call the office and was again advised to consult with an attorney. DeMartini told
Santo not to call him at which time Santo told DeMartini "You are then going to have to deal with my friends,
Smith and Wesson," and hung up the phone. This call occurred on0110712011. Santo had also left a message on
the voice mail which was transferred to a CD-ROM. A copy of CD was forwarded to the case Detectives in Los
Angeles. DeMartini stated that he fears for his safety and the safety of the employees. DeMartini stated that in
past four months Santo called the office 10 to 15 times. Five times, the secretary had hung up on him.

5. That DeMartini submitted a two page e-mail which provides detailed accounts of what had transpired in
past four months with Louis Santo. In the e- mails DeMartini detailed that Kevin King Templeton and John
Thompson of Nu Image Inc. informed DeMartini that the calls from Santo started shortly after the release of the
motion picture "The Expendables." That initially no one took the calls seriously and eventually they told Santo
to deal with Attorney DeMartini. During the first call to DeMartini, Louis Santo identified himself as a person
who knew Sylvester Stallone and that he had been told by Sylvester Stallone that he would be compensated for
his idea for "The Expendables". Santo then made some claims about Certifred Mails and having spoken to Mr.
Stallone directly. After that call DeMartini contacted both Kevin Krg, who works with Stallone and John
Thompson one of the Executives at Nu Image. Both were producers on "The Expendables." They both told
DeMartini that they remembered Santo calling, but they thought nothing of it and "just blew it off'. At the time
DeMartini thought he would do the same. However, Attorney DeMartini did tell Mr. Santo on the third or fourth
call with to hire an attorney and have the attorney call in order to make a legitimate claim.

6. That DeMartini stated that since then the calls from Louis Santo had become much more threatening and
much more frequently, to the point where DeMartini is not taking the calls. On at least one occasion, maybe
more, Santo left a message. Attorney DeMartini has one of those calls saved on his answering machine. On that

recording Santo states that they should not be messing with a "former SEAL." That on 0ll07l20lI at
approximately 4:00 PM (Pacific Time), Santo called again. At first DeMartini told the receptionist to put Santo to
voice mail. The secretary then called and said that Santo wanted to talk to DeMartini's superiors because
DeMartini was not doing the will of the company and that Santo had been told that he would be taken care of.
DeMartini took the call. DeMartini's initial comments to Santo were telling Santo to get an attomey and that
DeMartini would only talk to an attorney. Santo then said DeMartini wasn't representing the will of the company
and Santo wanted to talk to DeMartini's superior. DeMartini told SanJo that his only superior was the owners of
the company and that DeMartini had been given full authority to deal with this. DeMartini told Santo "do not call
here anymore, if you feel you have a claim, just have an attorney call." Santo replied "You are then going to
have to deal with my friends, Smith and Wesson," and Santo hung up the phone. DeMartini then discussed this
with Trevor Short, one of the three owners of the company and played the old recording for Short. Both
concluded that this has now gotten to the point where they should report this to the authorities. DeMartini is
concerned about this because it does deal with an international celebrity, Sylvester Stallone. Attorney DeMartini
believes that Santo is capable of carrying out his threats even though Santo has a Cormecticut based phone
number. DeMartini requested Police intervention.

7 on0lll3l201 I Detective Gregozek was assigned to investigate another complaint against Louis Santo
. That
by another victim. Det. Gregozek met with Rose McGowan, who stated she received numerous messages from
suspect Louis Santo via the social networking website, "Twitter." McGowan is an actress and has appeared in
several movies and television shows. McGowan stated she first noticed Twitter messages from Santo to her
account about 6 months ago and recalled the messages as being strange. Santo wrote that he loved McGowan
very much and that he misses her. Santo asked McGowan repeatedly to call him and that he had a movie he
created for her to star in. McGowan has riever had any prior contact with Santo and does not know who Santo is.
Santo's messages to McGowan became increasingly desperate telling her she had made a big mistake, and that
she would be sorry. McGowan stated that Santo had made numerous telephone calls to her manager's offtce,
"Media Talent Group," her public relations office, J'Baker Winokw Ryder Public Relations," and a business she
has a partnership in, "Dry Bar." Santo made repeated telephone calls, e mails, and text messages to various
people working for these businesses demanding to speak with McGowan. McGowan stated she has never had
any dealings with Louis Santo and has no desire for any contact with him. McGowan stated that several business
partners and employees lrave received repeated phone calls from Santo demanding contact with her.

8. That on}ll2tr Detective Gregozek, received information from McGowan that suspect Louis Santo had

informed him the reason for being at his residence. Santo told Officer Sebourne that he and his family do not get
along and that he has not spoken with his father for over 4 years. Additionally Santo's father keeps harassing
him. Officer Sebourne told him that his father had called and stated that he, Santo, was posting onto Facebook
that he was going to kill himself. Officer Sebourne then asked Santo to log onto to Facebook and they went
through the postings for the last 3 days. Officer Sebourne stated there were no postings from Santo regarding
him wanting to kill or hurt himself. However, there were posting from his friends stating that he was trying to
kill himself by being in the hospital for an operation. After reviewing the Facebook account of Santo Officer
Sebourne did not find any probable cause to commit Santo for an evaluation.

15. That on 06-15-2010 at approximately l94l hours,


Shelton Police officer Nugent, was assigned to a walk-
in complaint. Officer Nugent met the complainant, Ryan Santo. Ryan stated that he has received several e mails
from friends throughout the day regarding his brother Louis Santo. Ryan stated that his brother will take off for a
few years, not be heard from, and then return to the area. Ryan stated that he has received e-mails from friends
about Louis' comments, which were posted on Facebook. Ryan showed Officer Nugent the posts, which read
"Im going to kill myself. please let your mom know you and her are great people, but I don't want anyone to go
my funeral or wake". "I am going to kill myself'. Ryan stated that he was notified by friends of the e-mail and
wished for officers to conduct a welfare check on Louis.

16. That Shelton Police Officers Butwell, Falcone, and Nugent responded to 27 Rocky Rest Rd. in an attempt
to locate Louis. Officers were met at the door by Louis Santo, who invited Officers inside. Officers needed to
step over garbage to get into his apartrnent. While speaking with Santo, he denied making any comments on
Facebook, and stated that his brother was harassing him. Santo stated that he does not have any family and that
they want his money from a movie he is writing for. While inside Santo's aparfinenf the living environment was
very messy. While speaking with Santo about his families concem, he wished to contact the "FBI" stating that
they informed him to contact them if he had any problems. Based on Officers contact with Santo and messages
brought forward from his brother, Santo was transported to Griffin Hospital for an Emergency Psych Evaluation.

17. ThatDet. Trabka reviewed the two Shelton Police reports and found one e-mail message Santo wrote to a
family member stating the following "another thing you better fucking answer me, you and Scott better pray to
god you didn't stab me in the back with rose, you and Scott pray to fucking god you didn't do that and you pray to
god you didn't ruin it on me with rose you better pray to god." This appears that Santo had a fixation on Rose
McGowan back in June of 2010 when he was threatening to end his own life. Also included in the e mails
submitted by Ryan was one that had Louis asking to be called at his phone #203-435-2288. This is the number
listed as Louis Santo's for police complaints.

18. That a check of Derby Police records found that on 1ll23ll0 Santo made a walk in complaint that he was
receiving threatening text messages from someone named "Sam". The messages were coming from Rose
McGowan's phone number. At the time of complaint Santo provided his phone number as being 203-435-2288.
