Attachment I

In early 2017, agents received information fro'm a cooperating defendant concerning Napoleon.

POSADAS. The cooperating defendant stated. that POSADAS was actively utilizing his trucking company,

Sien?na Carriers, to transport kilogram amounts of cocaine. The c00perating defendant identi?ed a

- picture of POSADAS and stated that he would personally drive narcotics laden tractor trailers to various
U.S. cities 

On August 15, 2019, agents received information that a reefer trailer, bearing Texas License Plate
150C354, possibly contained an aftermarket hidden compartment built into the reefer unit. The reefer is
registered to Neopolian POSADAS at PO. Box 614, Edcouch, TX, and is a reefer for Sienna- Carriers. 

On September 1, 2019, at approximately 4:30 PM, a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) trooper
conducted an independent probable cause traf?c stop, in Victoria, TX, on a Sienna Carriers tractor truck,
bearing Texas License Plate R430977, which was pulling the aforementioned reefer trailer bearing Texas
License Plate 150C354. The truck was traveling northbound, from the McAllen, TX area. The sole
occupant and driver of thetractor trailer, Napoleon POSADAS, granted consent to truck and
trailer. During a search of the vehicle, of?cers discovered 100 bricks, weighing approximately 117.4
kilograms, of suspected cocaine, concealed within an aftermarket concealed compartment within the
.reefer unit of the trailer. The shape of the bricks, along with the weight and apparent stamp markings on
the bricks, are consistent with cocaine. Agents conserved the evidence for drug analysis.

POSADAS is the registered owner of both the truck and trailer as well as the owner of the company,
Sienna Carriers.

At this time, POSADAS was placed. under arrest by DPS. POSADAS was transported to thehTexas DPS
of?ce, where DPS agents read POSADAS his Miranda warnings. POSADAS stated that he wished to have
his lawyer present for any questioning.
