Defendant Address: church of flarg
(( Defendant Discord: HotPipinLeo648#1461 ))
Requested Attorney: sarah williams

Charging Department: sheriff department according to ms mason
Image
Date & Time of Incident(s): 8/oct/22 125 to 150am
Charge(s):
  • grand theft auto
  • running from police
  • fail to complie
Narrative:
i was arrested by the sheriff dept for grand theft auto, evading, and failure to comply. i don't think these chgs should stick. as i told the sheriff, a man was offering the car for sale, and said i could take it out for a test drive. while doing the test, two rude sheriffs deputies decided to turn their flashy blue and red lights on. i was worried about stopping because my friend was in some trouble, so i did not now what tod o. after hitting the tole booth, i was shocked by one of the deputies, which hurt alot. the deputies asked me if i stoled the car, and i asked for a lawyer, nd they refused to call me one, so i didn't answer them.

i was taking to this dark damp prison, and officers keen and ledger were mean to me. keen mocked me, and even made fun of my weight and clothing. They found some whisky that I had in my overalls from the other day, and then accused me of being drunk. it wasnt until they found this they thought i was drunk... i was not drunk, and told them i had not been drinking. they then brought another officer to the prison named jeremy williams, who i have met before, who used to be nice to me. jeremy then asked me to take a breath liezer, but i told him i had not been drinking, and did not want to take it. because i wouldnt do it, they charged me with fail to comply. i don't think i should have been rekired to take the test bc i hd not been drinking at all... i did not smell like it and i wasn't driving drunk..

i dnt think i should have went to prison for grand theft auto because keen and ledger have no proof that i stole the car... as i told them i was test driving it because it looked nice... far as i know the guy who let me driv it stoled it and they should go after him. and also, i dont think keen, ledger and williams should have been allowed to force me to take a breath a lie zer because i had not been drinking. plus i was mad at keen and ledger because they were being mean and they denied to call me a lawyer.

i did not stop because i was scared.. and if this is how i will be treaed, why would anyone stop?

ISSUANCE OF VERDICT


IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Doc Bathsheba
#23-CM-0016

A decision was reached in the above case on the 12th day of March, 2022.


The case of #23-CM-0016, State of San Andreas v. Doc Bathsheba has been resolved.

On the 8th of October during a standard patrol, law enforcement officers came upon a vehicle that was reportedly stolen when the vehicle’s license plate had been scanned. The law enforcement officers then allegedly attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle to determine the scope of the situation, however, were unsuccessful as the driver, for one reason or another, refused to stop the vehicle, thus initiating a pursuit.

Allegedly given multiple commands to stop the vehicle, the pursuit came to a close as the vehicle had been blocked by the toll booth, after which the driver was apprehended and identified to be the defendant, Doc Bathsheba.

During the subsequent search of the defendant, deputies with the Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department found a number of bottles of whiskey, one of which was open and approximately half empty. The law enforcement officers, however, did not conduct any breathalyzer test on scene, and instead, transferred the defendant to the Department of Corrections for processing. Sometime between 30 minutes and an hour later, deputies attempted to conduct a breathalyzer test to determine if the driver had been operating under the influence of the alcohol that he had been in possession of. The defendant, however, refused to cooperate with the breathalyzer test given the length of the time since the incident and the defendant’s assertion that he was not intoxicated, however, he was then charged with GM10 - Failure to Comply/Identify for refusing the test in addition to the initial GF11 - Grand Theft Auto charge and VF01 - Evading an Officer charge.

The court believes that the defendant’s refusal to stop for law enforcement officers during their pursuit had been unlawful and the defendant is, as such, liable for the Evading an Officer charge.

As for the Grand Theft Auto charge, the court has determined that although the defense has introduced doubt that the defendant was given permission to “test drive the vehicle,” there is not enough supporting evidence to support this assertion and, as such, the court believes that the defendant is liable for the Grand Theft Auto charge.

When it comes to the Failure to Comply charge - in the tangentially related case of #22-CM-0052, State of San Andreas v. Tony Solicetto, it was determined that reasonable suspicion was the standard of proof for law enforcement officers to conduct a gunshot residue test without a search warrant due to the exigent circumstances of potentially losing the evidence as soon as the traffic stop concluded. This case is similar in the sense that the court believes it to be reasonable for law enforcement officers to require a breathalyzer test on a defendant who is reasonably suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol.

With that said, the court needs to determine if the law enforcement officers on scene had established reasonable suspicion that the defendant was operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol. As previously stated, a half empty bottle of alcohol was found to be in the defendant’s possession, however, the prosecution has not presented any other evidence that indicates the defendant to be intoxicated, such as slurred speech, swerving while driving, the smell of alcohol, nor any other signs of impairment. Additionally, the delayed request for the defendant to take the breathalyzer test further supports the narrative that the defendant did not have any signs of impairment at the scene of his arrest. As such, the court has determined there not to be reasonable suspicion that the defendant was intoxicated at the time of his arrest.

It is with the above considerations that I issue the following verdict:
  • On the count of GF11 - Grand Theft Auto, I find the defendant, Doc Bathsheba, guilty.
  • On the count of VF01 - Evading an Officer, I find the defendant, Doc Bathsheba, guilty.
  • On the count of GM10 - Failure to Comply / Identify, I find the defendant, Doc Bathsheba, not guilty.
