Suspicious of drug activity, investigators sent confidential informants and undercover officers to make at least fourteen controlled purchases of heroin at an apartment building in Gary, Indiana, owned by Lamont Coleman. Officers used evidence from those buys, along with evidence they collected from a surveillance van they placed outside of the building, to secure a warrant to search Coleman's apartment and a house he owned next door. That warrant turned up drugs, money, and firearms which the government used at Coleman's trial to convict him on most, but not all, of the counts of the indictment.
