    Occupation: Police Officer II, Los Santos Police Department

  Witness Statement

  • A grey Buffalo STX was seen impeding traffic on Alta Street outside of Arcadius and was pulled over on San Andreas Avenue. The vehicle was four (4) times occupied and when all occupants were identified, officers realized that one of the passengers (Ace Aethernite) had a warrant out for his arrest. The occupants were asked to step out of the vehicle and they all complied. Upon searching the vehicle, an illegal pistol .50 was found inside the car. Detectives looked for fingerprints on the firearm but they could not find any. When all suspects were asked in regards of the firearm, nobody claimed it was theirs. All four (4) suspects were given multiple chances to admit the ownership of the firearm or they could be liable for the possession charge.
    
    All four (4) suspects still claimed they had no idea who the firearm belonged to and how it got inside the vehicle so eventually they were all charged for WM02 including Ace Aethernite.

    Date of Birth: 31/JAN/1997
    Phone Number: 311
    Occupation: Police Officer I, Los Santos Police Department

  Witness Statement

  • Police Officer Skylar Dawson was in a unit with Lieutenant Jason Steel and Detective Zoey Deul when a call for backup came over the radio for a traffic stop of a vehicle containing four individuals because it was impeding traffic. We arrived a block ahead of the stop and prepared to pursue the vehicle if it tried to flee from the traffic stop.
    
    As Lieutenant Steel, Detective Deul and Officer Dawson waited it was discovered that one of the occupants of the vehicle had a warrant out for his arrest by one of the officers on scene. The occupants of the vehicle were asked to exit the vehicle and stand on the side walk, which they did indeed do. At this point Lieutenant Steel, Detective Deul and Officer Dawson's unit moved to the scene as there was no more chance of the vehicle fleeing the scene.
    
    Once on scene Officer Dawson took control of one of the other suspects from the vehicle, detaining him as Detective Cyrus Carver searched the vehicle. Detective Carver found an illegal Pistol .50 in the glove box of the vehicle, and after trying to dust for prints to which he couldn't find any on the weapon, he came over and asked all four as to who owned the gun, but no one confessed to owning it.
    
    Because the gun was located in the glovebox, thus making it easy for anyone to reach over and take it out and use the weapon to harm someone, all four of the detained parties were charged with WM02 - Possession of a Class 1 Firearm and taken to Mission Row Precinct to be processed.

    Occupation: Detective, Los Santos Police Department

  Witness Statement

  • Detective Carver responded to a traffic stop on a vehicle occupied four times. As Detective Carver approached the vehicle, he noticed most if not all of the occupants shuffling through the vehicle and reaching around the inside of the car suspiciously.
    
    One of the occupants (Ace Aethernite) was identified as a wanted individual and everyone stepped out of the car. During a search of the vehicle, a handgun was found.
    
    Detective Carver asked all four individuals who the handgun belongs to MULTIPLE TIMES. None of the individuals owned up to the gun. Detective Carver again asked many more times explaining that they were all in presence of the gun and in control of the handgun as it was in view and reach of all individuals. None of them wanted to claim it.
    
    All individuals inside the vehicle were taken into custody and charged with the handgun. It was clear that the suspects had equal access to the handgun and any of them could have at any point grabbed it and used it, keeping them all in control of it.

    Occupation: Detective II, Los Santos Police Department

  Witness Statement

  • I apologize if I am vague, this situation partly exited my memory and I arrived a little late on the scene of the arrest. On the day of the event I was called up as an additional unit to assist with a traffic stop that was followed by an investigation. Following the said investigation a firearm was uncovered in the vehicle and one individual was found to have active warrants for their arrest. I believe there were three occupants in the vehicle, I am not certain, each of which individually had control of the firearm while each individual from my recollection claimed the firearm was not theirs. Following a conversation with the scene supervisor it was decided that all suspects should be charged for the firearm and processed.

MOTION FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Ace Aethernite


A Motion for Voluntary Dismissal without Prejudice was filed in the above case on the 8th of September, 2024.

The State of San Andreas, by and through the undersigned attorney, filed this Motion for Voluntary Dismissal without Prejudice, and the reasoning for request is as follows;

• Reasoning: Decision made by prosecution to drop charges following the analysis of evidence.
  • Detailed Explanation: Upon review of the evidence, it has been determined that the defendant, Ace Aethernite, was a passenger in a vehicle not registered to him. An unlicensed firearm was found in the glovebox, and while all four occupants of the vehicle denied ownership of the weapon, the charging agency elected to charge all individuals present. After careful consideration, the prosecution has decided to dismiss the charges against the defendant and will not be pursuing further action in this matter.
