purchase the drug and to pay the confidential informant. Mr. Lirette then took the requested cash from the lockbox and handed it to the requesting officer. Once the controlled buy occurred (i.e., the confidential informant successfully purchased the drug using the division's cash), the officer brought the confidential informant back to the HPD office and completed a Confidential Informant form ("CI form"), on which the CI placed his or her fingerprints using a wet-ink pad. On these CI forms, the officers wrote the date and time of the C1 purchase and payment, the type and amount of drug purchased, and the total amount of cash used. The officers were then responsible for attaching their case reports to the completed, corresponding CI form and signing the form. The officers were also expected to reference the case report number on the corresponding CI form. 9. Forty-five (45) CI forms were altered, fabricated, or forged by Jeffery Lirette during the time period of June 21, 2016 through March 13, 2019. The forty-five (45) CI forms and the case reports showed the following: (1) the amount of cash and/or drug purchased as listed on the CI form differed from the amount and drug stated in the case report narratives (2) the case report referenced on the CI form did not involve the controlled purchase of drugs; (3) the CI number referenced on the CI form differed from the CI number stated in the case report; (4) previously completed CI forms were altered and copied;or(5)case report narratives for previously completed CI forms were copied and attached to fabricated CI forms. Jeffery Lirette also signed CI forms in his own name, signifying that he received petty cash for his own controlled buys. 10. On at least seventeen(17) CI forms, Mr. Lirette forged Officer Correy Beal's signature on the forms. Mr. Lirette also forged Officers Kristina Payne's and Corey Duplantis' signatures on CI forms as well. Page 3 of 8
