#25-BT-0059 State of San Andreas v. Tom Daniels

[Darius White]

Defendant Name: Tom Daniels
Defendant Phone: 342-6150
(( Defendant Discord: Tom.vd ))
(( Defendant Timezone: Amsterdam ))
Type of Representation (Pick one): Public Defender

Charging Department: LDPD

Date & Time of Incident(s): 02/FEB/2025 ~11:00
Charge(s):

• Evading an officer
• Possession of a Class 1 Firearm

Narrative:
I was a passenger in a car when an officer asked for our IDs and inquired if there were any illegal items in the vehicle. The driver said no. The officers then asked us to step out of the car. As I reached for the door handle to get out, the driver suddenly drove off. The officers chased us, and the driver crashed into a wall less than a minute later. Once it was safe, I got out of the car to surrender, but the driver pulled out a shotgun, and gunfire started from both the officers and the driver. I ran to find safety. After a while, the gunfire stopped, and I called 911 to report the situation and offer my statement. I learned I was wanted for evading and possession of a class 1 firearm. I never intended to evade or participate in any crime. As soon as it was safe to leave the car, I did, and I was ready to surrender. But when gunshots were exchanged, I chose to hide for my safety.

When trying to reason with the officer who responded to my 911 call, he informed me that this was the law, and the charging officer wasn't available to work things out. My license was suspended, and I was shackled up and thrown into the prison.

I, Tom Daniels, hereby affirm that all information provided above is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, and understand that knowingly providing false information could result in additional charges and/or fines.

Driver and passanger of vehicle identified them selfs to Detective Tim. They were asked to step out of the vehicle for investigation but said individuals disobeyed order. There was enough time for driver or passanger to step out of the vehicle because they asked multiple times '' why do they need to step out''. And they started to evade. Unit that was behind us started to chase them until they tced with tree. Our unit was not near the scene when that happend. We arrived in time to assist our fellow officer that was being actively shot by Kon Xiao. After Kon was neutralized, we procceded with searching the area and securing it. Scene lasted for good 15minutes and passanger Tom Daniels was no where near, he never showed any interest to come back.

  • Name: Tim Havlicek
    Date of Birth: 14/MAY/1988
    Phone Number: 5075759
    Occupation: Detective III, Los Santos Police Department

  Witness Statement

  • A traffic stop was initiated by my unit comprised of Officer Suki Kingstone, Officer Cain Cooper, and myself, Detective Havlicek, under the callsign of 3-G-20 on Kon Xiao and Tom Daniels. The reason behind the traffic stop was reports of gunfire in the area of Vespucci Beach - an area from which a black Kamacho was seen speeding out of which prompted our response, which was followed by a traffic stop on the mentioned vehicle.
    
    Kon Xiao and Tom Daniels identified on request during the traffic stop in their black Kamacho but after a verbal exchange and a request for Xiao and Daniels to step out, following some arguing, Xiao sped off as the driver with Daniels as the passenger. The two led units in a pursuit from Vespucci to the area of Vinewood Hills, Richman specifically closer to Eclipse Boulevard before crashing. Officer Zack Armani was the lead unit when the suspects crashed - Xiao stepped out of the crashed Kamacho and began firing toward Officer Armani, injuring him, after which Xiao was injured by returning fire from our unit, 3-G-20. Daniels exited and vehicle and ran in an unknown direction before being lost. A trace was attempted on the request of Detective Havlicek but the phone of Tom Daniels was off.
    
    Following investigation a weapon was found in the compartment of the vehicle with the prints of Tom Daniels' on it which he was charged for. Xiao was treated, transported, and processed in DOC before Daniels was charged as he was nowhere to be seen and fleeing.

COURT DECISION

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Tom Daniels

A decision was reached in the above case on the 11th day of July, 2025.

Due to a lack of response from the defendant in the above case, the case will now be accepting the plea of guilty from the defendant. The defendant was given ample time to interact with the courts and file availability. If any of the dates and times did not align with the schedule of the defendant, they were able to contact the courts stating the like. As little to no contact has been made with the courts in the past 3-4 weeks, this case will now be archived and the charges will remain on the record of the defendant.

Respectfully,
