  Witness Statement

  • In the early morning hours of November 12th, Deputy Trixie Bankshot was kidnapped by three individuals belonging to the criminal organization known as "The Souls" at the Burger Shot in Paleto Bay. Shortly after the incident, we were informed by the LSPD that a police cruiser might have been stolen. After some investigation, we discovered that the cruiser belonged to Deputy Bankshot. At the time of her kidnapping, she had her canine unit deployed, so finding the vehicle and the presumed missing K9 became our top priority. We searched the city high and low for the car.
    
    The vehicle was eventually found in a parking structure near David Station. PD was able to lift a fingerprint from the scene, which was identified as belonging to John Gradwick. They also traced his phone signal up to Bayview. 21-G-10 (George Hill) called us into JTAC to inform us of the developments—the car had been found, a fingerprint had been identified, and the suspect was tracked to Bayview.
    
    Upon arriving at Bayview, we located Mr. Gradwick and took him into custody without incident. After a brief investigation, we discovered that the SD canine was never actually kidnapped. When Deputy Bankshot was abducted from the Burger Shot, her K9 had exited the vehicle and waited at Bayview.

COURT DECISION

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. John Gradwick

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,


Court Clerk
