  Case Information

  • Case Number: [Case Number]
    Incident Date: [01/JAN/2025]

  Witness Information

  • Name: Matthew Handley
    Date of Birth: 10/oct/1990
    Phone Number:
    Occupation: investigator sheriffs officers

  Witness Statement

  • A department radio call came over from DOC that someone was in a trunk of a vehicle and it was a possible kidnap attempt.
    
    I arrived on scene and was the fourth unit a deputy. I think it was Jason. Holt confirmed that the incident was a prank done by Ivy hirano and one other.
    
    Doing my due diligence, I noticed that Ivy Hirano had a suspended license less than 24 hours ago and I made the initial deputies aware.
    
    At this stage, Jason Holt came over to Ivy and requested her ID which she refused a total of about six times. She was then forcibly detained with a taser and her ID taken. It became apparnt that she indeed did have a suspended license.
    
    Deputy Holt then reviewed the body Cam from the DC officer which confirmed Ivy was driving the vehicle with 1 other in the trunk ( may have been Lillian I cannot confirm) Ivy was then search and arrested and stolen numberplates discovered in her possession. Although despite my order she was not charged for this. Ivy stated I believe “ I was just having a joke with my friend”.
    
    As the vehicle was used in a crime, i.e. driven by somebody on a suspended license jason decided to lock pick the vehicle and take it to the impound during which he found two legal firearms and handed over to me to do fingerprints as whether Ivy who is a felon had possessed such firearms.
    
    At this stage, Lillian came running out of the building pushing past Jason and entering the driving seat of the vehicle she was instructed to get out of the vehicle at once to which she refused. She started screaming about how probable cause had been violated but rather than having a adult conversation decided that she would simply drive. multiple deputies, attempted to stop her but she decided to instead ram them out of the way and do doughnuts around the car park in the process she ran over a deputy in order to try and escape before pinning herself against the wall
    
    She was forcibly arrested and removed from the vehicle.
    
    it is of our opinion as as the vehicle was used in a crime by Ivy who had keys to the vehicle and therefore permission from the owner and was seen on body cam Shorty prior to arrival committing the offence the vehicle was subjected to impound. In addition to this IV was confirmed to have a Illegal items in her possession. I cannot confirm if the person in the trunk was Lillian but if so, this would only further support our actions as she is complicit in the offence. Perhaps holt can confirm.
    
    Had Lillian decided to have an adult conversation with us about the situation she disagreed with rather than get into the driver seat of a vehicle against the law-enforcement orders and cause damage to department vehicles and run over one of our employees. The outcome of this situation would have been drastically different. It is likely she would not have received any charge or firearm suspensions. Applying the principle of the reasonable person Lillian acted in a way far removed from this even moreso with her being I believe an ex law enforcement officer

  Official Witness Statement
  "HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU"

  Case Information

  • Case Number: #25-BT-0050
    Incident Date: 17/JAN/2025

  Witness Information

  • Name: Lilliana Howell
    Date of Birth: 04/Nov/1996
    Phone Number: 485-7557
    Occupation: Interior Designer

  Witness Statement

  • I had just picked up and was travelling with a friend of mine, Ivy Hirano ( Now known as Ivy Raven ), who requested that I drive them to DOC to collect their belongings. On the way to DOC I started feeling peckish and stopped to get a bite from some food I had in the trunk of my vehicle, while reaching in to grab said food I accidentally fell and landed inside the trunk to which Ms. Hirano thought it would be funny to close the trunk lid and driver to DOC with me inside.
    
    I'm not sure much of what happened following, as all I could hear was some mumbling, but I was eventually let out with the DOC officers asking me if I was being kidnapped. I assured them I wasn't and got out to eat.
    
    A few moments after several SD cruisers pull up to the scene and question Ms. Hirano on what DOC had called them about, I don't know much of what call they were referring to, but they would eventually inform Ivy Hirano that they're under arrest without specifying a reason. I stayed back, not wanting to interfere, until a deputy came up to me, pushed me out of the way, and started breaking into my car door. I got into an argument with the deputy wondering what they were doing and telling them I do not consent to a search and they just responded with "too bad, I'm searching and impounding the car" and continued to try and brute force the lock, even though I as the registered owner with keys was right next to them.
    
    The deputy would eventually breach open my lock and drive the car over to where Ms. Hirano was being arrested, and I followed i,t wanting to inquire as to why my friend was being arrested and they were breaking into my car to impound it. At the time had no idea the reasoning behind the arrest.
    
    At this time, an unknown individual, without saying a word, grabbed my hands and tried to restrain me, due to previous trauma causing me to react poorly to being touched. Let alone being assaulted by a stranger without warning, I entered a state of panic and went to the only safe space I could find, my vehicle, and locked the doors. When attempting to get a look at my assaulter all I'm met with is the barrel of a firearm causing me to fear for my life and drive over to the one person I could recognize on the scene Investigator II Matthew Handley, but upon getting close my car is hit by another and I'm once again met with individuals I couldn't distinguish aiming heavy weaponry at me and I try my best to drive away to a safe distance on the other side of the parking lot but am met with vehicles continuously hitting and ramming me before I look up and see Investigator II Matthew Handley charging at me in his cruiser, hitting me from the side and causing me to swerve into the bushes at DOC where a deputy was unfortunately standing. Having only now realized that it was deputies after me, trying to arrest me for finding my LEGAL firearm inside my vehicle, I surrendered and got out of my vehicle.
    
    Had the deputies done their due diligence and ID'd me or run the serial numbers on the firearms before jumping to conclusions, they would've realized there was never a need to detain me. Alternatively, had the deputies approaching the scene identified themselves or talked to me explaining the situation and informing me I would be detained before forcefully grabbing onto me and shouting over one another,r waving their guns around, I would've been aware of the situation and not have to fear for my own life. Due to previous trauma, I react poorly to being touched, let alone restrained by unknown individuals out of nowhere.
    
    It is my belief that I couldn't have been "willingly" evading law enforcement if I was unaware it was Law Enforcement trying to restrain me due to their poor communication skills, let alone the fact that I never left the scene. I remained and surrendered myself once I could piece together what was happening.
    
    I also believe that since deputies were responsible for the accident that happened when they decided to ram my car when in close proximity to deputies on foot, causing the offense for which I was charged, I should not be held responsible for hit & run. Especially since I (a) remained on scene and saw the victim be attended by another deputy, (b) Law Enforcement were already present, and (c) surrendered and made myself available for deputies.

Given that it seems this trial will solely be based on witness statements and interpretations of the penal code I'd prefer to have a defense attorney assigned before proceeding to trial.

ISSUANCE OF VERDICT

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Lillliana Howell
#25-BT-0050

A decision was reached in the above case on the 27th day of July, 2025.

The Court has reviewed the facts of the case surrounding the incident that took place on the 17th of January, 2025.

An incident took place at DOC which had Sheriff's Deputies respond. The incident was an alleged kidnapping, however it was later confirmed this was not the case. During the investigation from the Sheriff's Deputies, it was identified that one of the two individual's involved in the alleged kidnapping were operating a vehicle without a valid drivers license. Following this arrest, Sheriff's Deputies were performing a search of the vehicle.

The disputed facts of the case are what follows this point. The Exhibits allege that the Defendant entered the vehicle that was being searched and drove off from the scene, resulting in the Evading an Officer charge. The Prosecution also alleges that during the attempt to flee Deputies, the Defendant intentionally drove into a Deputy causing injuries. However, the Defendant did not leave the scene and remained present.

The Court believes that a reasonable person would recognise there was an active investigation taking place based on the confirmed facts of the case. The Court does not believe that the actions from the Defendant met the level of Evading an Officer, however does accept that the Burden of Proof was met for a Reckless Operation of a Vehicle charge. Finally, the actions of the Defendant following the Sheriff's Deputies attempting to place them into cuffs does meet the level of Resisting Arrest.

It is with the above considerations that I issue the following verdict:

• On the count of VF01 - Evading an Officer, I find the defendant, Lillliana Howell, not guilty.
• On the count of VF02 - Felony Hit and Run of a Gov. Employee, I find the defendant, Lillliana Howell, not guilty.
• On the count of GM04 - Resisting Arrest, I find the defendant, Lillliana Howell, guilty.
• On the count of VM03 - Reckless Operation of a Road or Marine Vehicle, I find the defendant, Lillliana Howell, guilty.

The defendant should make their way to City Hall at their earliest convenience to have the change to their record noted as well as the payment of $47,900 returned to them for fines, time, and other expenses/inconveniences incurred from the contested charges.
