Directions are as follows: | Begin at the intersection of Coosada Parkway and Coosada Rd in Coosada, Turn right on Coosada Rd, ! heading towards Millbrook. Take a right on Kennedy Ave and travel to the first right, Pontiac Ln. Turn ' right on Pontiac tn then turn left on Choctaw.

The house address is 260 Coosada Ln, Coosada, AL, located in Elmore County. ‘The house is red brick with blue shutters and a white door. | The facts tending to establish the foregoing grounds for the issuance of a search warrant are as follows: ‘On 06/03/2016, the above listed individual posted a video on the Internet about the Wetumpka Police Department along with phone numbers and email addresses of the Wetumpka City Hall, the Wetumpka | ity Attorney, and the District Attorney's Office. The individual also shared the video with an affiliate, |, News Now Houston/ David Warden, who instructed others to make phone calls and send emails in an «effort to “flood” the communications system of the Wetumpka Police Department. In the days | following, the Wetumpka Police Department answered several hundred phone calls from people as far ! away as Canada that have no relevance to the day to day activities of the police department. Most of | these calls were computer generated, spam calls. These calls kept every line at Wetumpka Police {Department occupied throughout the day. ll ofthese calls had to be answered by 911 dispatchers, which limited the dispatcher’s abilities to answer calls from the general public which rely on this service for emergencies, These intentional actions forced the police department to shut down its primary contact lines to allow dispatchers to field emergency calls. Numerous types of general cals for service | were affected by this shut down which include: alarm calls for residents and business owners, general calls for service for the City of Wetumpka and non-emergency calls for the Wetumpka Fire Departmentwast yh aes sania MeatSore “Tre and Haynes Ambulance. This also forced the shutdown of the domestic violence shelter of the police department. Based on the great number of calls resulting from the Internet posts by Lynwood Keith Golden and the affiliate, News Now Houston/ David Warden, | believe that evidence of a conspiracy to interfere with faw enforcement communication will be found in electronic communications in Lynwood Keith Golden's possession including email, phones, and other electronic communications. {In my experience as a law enforcement officer, | know tablets, phones and other electronic communication equipment to be hidden and/or stored in vehicles, small compartments, outbuildings and other structures to be concealed from law enforcement. | have personally observed the listed property and observed numerous locations where this evidence can be hidden and/or stored on the premises.
