FBI agents carried out a search warrant Thursday at Ekonomo’s home, where they seized drugs buried in his yard, a gun and ammunition inside the residence, prosecutors said.In all, authorities found over a kilogram of heroin and more than a half-kilogram of suspected cocaine at Ekonomo’s residence, prosecutors said. A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds.
The officer got approval for Ekonomo to work as a confidential source five years ago, but investigators couldn’t find any evidence that Ekonomo was ever signed up as an informant, according to an affidavit.
