  • Los Santos County: On November 25, 2020, around 8:20 p.m., deputies from the Highway Enforcement Division noticed a gray Warner driving recklessly near Paul's Farm, breaking several road laws, resulting in a charge of VM03 Reckless Operation of a Road or Marine Vehicle. A vehicle stop was initiated, where there were four individuals inside the Warner. The driver was then asked to step out of the vehicle as he was being charged with Reckless Operation of a Road or Marine Vehicle.

    The driver of the Warner didn't respond to deputies commands and stalled the vehicle stop. Eventually, all four suspects stepped out of the vehicles with heavy weapons, holding the deputies at gunpoint. Being outnumbered and outgunned, deputies submitted to the suspects, where the suspects then stole the police cruiser and took off from the scene, leaving the two deputies abandoned at the traffic stop.

    A near-by Sheriff's Air Support Division helicopter saw what happened and established a Tactical Communication Channel between the other deputies, providing crucial information to the ground units, who were in pursuit of the stolen Sheriff's cruiser. The pursuit itself lasted around 15 minutes, where the driver of the stolen cruiser stalled the vehicle by causing an accident against an unbuilt wind turbine at the Los Santos County power station.

    All four suspects then jumped out of the vehicle and opened fire at the pursuing deputies. Deputies returned fire and took all suspects down, eliminating the direct threat to their lives. Thanks to the fast response by the Los Santos Emergency Medical Services, three suspects were treated on scene and transported to the hospital, where they were then charged. Unfortunately, one of the suspects who was shot succumbed to his injuries and passed away on the scene.

    These are the three suspects who were taken into custody;

    Hsan Jabar, a former Deputy Sheriff in the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department who was discharged for budget cuts. This is the first time Jabar is on the wrong side of the law after his discharge from the Sheriff's Department. A shotgun and a pistol .50 was recovered by deputies.
    Fernando Mason, an individual with a prior history with law enforcement, was taken down by deputies and taken into custody and charged. The deputies recovered a Micro submachine gun and a pistol .50.
    Carl Waterson, an individual with no prior history with law enforcement, was taken into custody and charged. An automatic rifle with a drum magazine and pistol .50 was recovered from the person by deputies.

    In total, four (4) Pistol .50, two (2) Shotguns, one (1) AK-47 with Drum magazine, and one (1) Micro Submachine gun, was recovered from the scene. One deputy was injured after the shooting, unrelated to the shootout. He was taken to the hospital and released to active duty.
