Requested Attorney: Public Defender
Charging Department: LSPD
Date & Time of Incident(s): 01/Sep/2022 12:40AM
Charge(s): Illegal Fire Arm, and im assuming failure to comply since I was attempted to fight with the cops about the reason for their search made no sense. Maybe pointing a gun at an officer since that was their claim for the search.
Narrative:
Someone was picking my car infront of Weazel Apt I run outside to defend my property people are running around with guns in BLACK not white which I WAS wearing and the cops stop and detain me even though they admit they saw someone picking my car. The cop in question claimed i pointed a gun at them which NEVER happened and I asked them to recheck bodycam and he said he did but no way he could have in that short amount of time. Then forced me out of my car and check my pockets then force me to unlock my car.
Please check the officers bodycam who I mention about Badge 7855, I know Jonathan willowick was there, Darren Shaw, Coral, Xoza Shadow. Please review the officer in questions bodycam will show I never aimed a gun and the traffic stop was wrong aswell as the search. I was the victim of someone attempting to rob my car.
I,
Tanaka Inagawa, 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.
(( I affirm that all information submitted has been obtained via In-Character means.

Date of Birth: [03/DEC/2022]
Phone Number: [278894]
Occupation: [Police Officer]
Witness Statement
- [I was directly involved in the above situation like Mr Tanaka Said.
To bring a bit more light on this case, Mr. Tanaka and his friends were suspected of robbing a bank and they were actively chased and followed through the city by multiple units in Tac.
We found Mr Tanaka and other affiliates' vehicles at the apartment building, seconds when i noticed another individual next to a black buffalo STX. As the man had a mask on I asked him to remove the mask and show me his license, when 2 individuals come down the stairs with silenced .50s in their hands and i drive off calling for backup, wich you will clearly see in the bodycam footage
Now Mr Tanaka made this appeal thinking that is allowed to defend his property with an illegal firearm with a silencer on it, he directly lied in the appeal saying that ''people dressed in black with guns where there and the Leo`s ignored them and decided to arrest him.
You can clearly see that the other individual carrying an illegal firearm was his friend coming out in the same time at him and leaving in the same time as him
Due to the fact that we already had a TAC situation opened units chased the vehicle leaving the scene and one of them was the Buffalo STX Mr Tanaka.
The individual was asked to get out of the vehicle and was very aggressive when i did that, acting very erratically, the clothing he had on him matched 100% with the individual brandishing the weapon and we never lost sight of the vehicle after they left the scene.
Mr. Tanka was found in possession of an illegal.50 pistol with a silencer on it and was charged accordingly

Re: State of San Andreas v. Tanaka Inagawa
"HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU" |
- Honorable Daniels,
The Prosecution notes that in the appeal as written by the Defendant, the charges that are being appealed are described as follows:
Illegal Fire Arm, and im assuming failure to comply since I was attempted to fight with the cops about the reason for their search made no sense. Maybe pointing a gun at an officer since that was their claim for the search.
Per State of San Andreas v. Brody King, while the Defendant does not have access to the MDC Mr. Inagawa had the opportunity to go to Mission Row, Paleto Station, or even the Courthouse/City Hall for clarification on what he was charged with on the day in question.
This would lead to the following charges being appealed in the underlying case:
- WF03 - Possession of Illegal Firearms/Weapons
- GM10 - Failure to Comply / Identify
- GM01 - Assault of a Government Employee
In this respect, the Prosecution notes that the Defendant had not been charged with either GM10 - Failure to Comply / Identify or GM01 - Assault of a Government Employee. It is therefore the opinion of the Prosecution that the charges omitted from this appeal have been abandoned and this appeal only involves the charge of WF03 - Possession of Illegal Firearms/Weapons.

Motion to Amend Charges
Honorable Daniels,
- We the prosecution in the case are requesting an amendment of the charges.
State of San Andreas v. Tanaka Inagawa
Assigned Court Case Number: #22-CM-0070
Requesting Party: Prosecution
Party Members: Roderick Marchisio, Sarah Williams
Original Charges:
- WF03 - Possession of Illegal Firearms/Weapons
- WM01 - Unlawful Brandishing of a Firearm or Weapon
- WM03 - Possession of Weapon Modifications
- GM19 - Face Concealment (b)
Amended Charges:
- WF03 - Possession of Illegal Firearms/Weapons
- WM01 - Unlawful Brandishing of a Firearm or Weapon
- WM03 - Possession of Weapon Modifications
- GM19 - Face Concealment (b)
- WF01 - Assault with a Deadly Weapon of a Government Employee
- NM03 - Unlawful Assembly
- GF24 - Perjury
Detailed explanation:
The Prosecution notes that, as shown in Evidence Exhibit #3 as presented previously to the court, the Defendant was involved in the assembly of two individuals that brandished illegal firearms including weapon modifications in a public street, right in front of a residential apartment complex while running at full speed towards a law enforcement officer on duty. In this respect, the Prosecution notes that an assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. Both the threat - by running at full speed towards the officer while grabbing an illegal, modified firearm - and the presentation of the ability to cause this harm are obvious. Additionally, the Prosecution notes that the Defendant was involved in the assembly of two or more individuals that displayed an act in a manner likely to terrify the general public, which is proven by the public display of firearms. Following this, the Prosecution can only conclude the actions as taken by the Defendant should result in the application of WF01 - Assault with a Deadly Weapon of a Government Employee and NM03 - Unlawful Assembly.
Further, the Prosecution notes that the Defendant made the following claim in his statement:
I run outside to defend my property people are running around with guns in BLACK not white which I WAS wearing
With reference to the bodycam footage, it becomes abundantly clear that at the moment the Defendant and the individual next to him come running out of the apartment complex, they are the only individuals running around while brandishing (illegal and modified) firearms. Police Officer III+1 Dean Molloy together with the unnamed individual are clearly stationary while no firearms are brandished. Following this, the statement as signed off by the Defendant is clearly untrue and one with the the potential of affecting the outcome of the trial. As such, the Prosecution can only conclude that the Defendant has knowingly and willfully provided false statements or information to mislead the court in the underlying case and should therefore result in the applicability of GF24 - Perjury.
Sincerely,
Prosecuting Attorney

- Counselors,
Due to some recent changes to the court system we will not be holding any hearing for the motions filed and instead I will be ruling on them based on their merit here on the docket right now.
First I would like to address the defense counsels clarification to the charges being disputed. The defendant posted their case to the docket on September 1st 2022, on October the 7th the defense counsel advised the court that they will be representing the defendant Mr. Inagawa. Then on the 25th of October, 2022 clarification was given of what charges are being disputed. As the prosecution noted, it was in the case of #22-CM-0055 San Andreas v. King that precedent was set. Due to the defendant and defense counsel not relaying to the court that they wish to clarify what charges are being disputed until almost 2 months after the initial case was filed I will only be hearing the original disputed charge of WF03 - Possession of Illegal Firearms/Weapons.
In regards to the Motion to Amend Charges filed by the prosecution, due to recent charges to the policy regarding this motion I will allow two of the three additional charges to be amended. That being, "WF01 - Assault with a Deadly Weapon of a Government Employee" as that is a felony charge, and "GF24 - Perjury" as that is a charge related to statements made to the court under penalty of perjury.
With that being said, the following charges will be the only charges heard when this case goes to trial;
- WF03 - Possession of Illegal Firearms/Weapons
- WF01 - Assault with a Deadly Weapon of a Government Employee
- GF24 - Perjury
If no other motions are filed by end of day Sunday, November 27th, 2022, I will be moving to hold a trial in this case.
Respectfully,
Chief Justice

ISSUANCE OF VERDICT
IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS
State of San Andreas v. Tanaka Inagawa
#22-CM-0070
A decision was reached in the above case on the 5th day of March, 2023.
A trial was held at Rockford Hills City Hall on the 5th of March, 2023. An abundant amount of evidence was provided during the trial and testimony was given by both sides on this case. The defense in this case announced to the court that the defendant Tanaka Inagawa is pleading guilty to the charge of WF03 - Possession of Illegal Firearms/Weapons, therefore the prosecution and defense in this case only gave arguments regarding the two charges added by the prosecution.
In regards to the charge WF01 - Assault with a Deadly Weapon of a Government Employee, the court believes that the defendant in this case never pointed his firearm at Police Officer III+1 Dean Molloy as shown in Exhibit #5, therefore the threat of bodily harm with the intention of attainment was not present. For the prosecution to successfully show the defendant had the intention of bodily harm on the law enforcement officer they would of had to show the defendant pointed the weapon at the officer with the intention of attaining that bodily harm. Since the defendant did not do so, as shown in Exhibit #5, the prosecution were unsuccessful in doing so.
In regards to GF24 - Perjury, the prosecution has to prove that the defendant knowingly and willfully provided false statements or information to mislead a judge and, or jury in official proceedings for or during a trial. The prosecution argued that the by the defendant stating the following during the filing of this case "I run outside to defend my property people are running around with guns in BLACK not white which I WAS wearing" he was perjuring himself as he moment the defendant and the individual next to him come running out of the apartment complex, they are the only individuals running around while brandishing (illegal and modified) firearms.
The court believes that, as shown in Exhibit #5, the defendant and one of the individuals in black were together as they seemingly came out of the apartment complex together, down the stairs together, and both drew their firearms before running towards Police Officer III+1 Dean Molloy, it was clear that they were acting together. Both the defendant and the individual in black were the only ones at this point to have any firearm drawn. Once the individual in black had pointed his firearm at the Officer Molloy, Officer Molloy fled down the street on his police bike and radioed for additional units. At that time both the individual in black and the defendant got into their respective vehicles and fled the scene.
It is with the above considerations that I issue the following verdict:
- On the count of WF03 - Possession of Illegal Firearms/Weapons, I find the defendant, Tanaka Inagawa, guilty.
- On the count of WF01 - Assault with a Deadly Weapon of a Government Employee, I find the defendant, Tanaka Inagawa, not guilty.
- On the count of GF24 - Perjury, I find the defendant, Tanaka Inagawa, guilty.
