  Witness Information

  • Name: Laurant Conrad
    Date of Birth: 26/APR/2000
    Phone Number: 449-4803
    Occupation: Police Officer III +1, Los Santos Police Department

  Witness Statement

  • In the first interaction with Mr. Ryan, I witnessed a BF400 break traffic laws by cutting across the double yellow line at parking and went to grab a plate. Upon pulling behind the bike, I noticed it had no plate and began a 10-55 on the vehicle where the driver refused to turn off their engine. I had a brief conversation with the man, before drawing my taser in which he drove off and began to evade after I missed. I returned back to mission row and got a bf400 myself and began to search the area for the man.
    
    As I was about to put the bike away after the 10 or so minutes of looking a call over radio came in that there was a black bf400 in a traffic stop with no plate and I asked the unit doing that traffic stop for a backup as it matched the description of the car I was looking for. As the other unit dropped their backup the Bike began to evade again in which a second pursuit started. Eventually, Joe Ryan crashed in this pursuit and was taken into custody. This pursuit lasted about 10 or 15 minutes before Mr. Ryan bailed on the bike near the impound and tried to run on foot before being tased and caught.
    
    Mr. Ryan was still wearing the exact same clothes and mask as during the first interaction with a bike that was similar to the first evasion. Additionally his voice sounded the same in both conversations I had with him as in both interactions I had a prolonged conversation with the man. Finally to be sure, I asked him under Miranda why he ran from me in the last stop at Legion, to which Mr. Ryan replied "I ran because I was scared and thought you had a gun out." These three pieces of evidence combined I felt confident in placing the charge of evasion for the first evasion as it was a different situation.
    
    In Mr. Ryan's bike a gun was found as well as a second mask (monkey) that LSPD had a bolo about. Mr. Ryan was not charged in connection with this as sufficient evidence was not found linking Mr. Ryan to a third pursuit as well.

  Witness Affirmation

I affirm that this statement has been made voluntarily, made without promise of reward, and made not under threat, force, or coercion.

ISSUANCE OF VERDICT

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Joe Ryan
#25-CM-0079

A the above case was resolved on the 13th day of July, 2025.

A verbal Plea Agreement was filed by the both parties and accepted by the court. Within the agreement, the defendant pled guilty to the charge(s) of WM02 - Possession of a Class 1 Firearm, VM09 - Operation of a Vehicle without a License Plate, and GM04 - Resisting Arrest GM19 - Face Concealment (b) VF01 - Evading an Officer. The additional charge of VF01 - Evading an Officer has been removed as both sides agreed to a not guilty plea due to the original misplacement of charges. As the defendant had already been compensated by the Los Santos Police Department, the courts found it fit to award the defendant 10,000 for the license suspension, and nothing more for fines or time served.

It is with the above considerations that I issue the following verdict:

• On the count of VF01 - Charge, I find the defendant, Joe Ryan, not guilty.
