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

  Case Information

  • Incident Date: 31/JAN/2025

  Witness Information

  • Name: Grace Steel
    Date of Birth: 20/09/1997
    Phone Number: 4644793
    Occupation: Police Detective I, Los Santos Police Department

  Witness Statement

  • Mr. Ronny Miguel evaded as a result of a traffic stop. His vehicle became disabled at the intersection between Lower Pw. Street and San Andreas Avenue, at which point he was taken into custody and cuffed. Few seconds later, Mr. Miguel escaped from the METRO's officer hold and proceeded to run all the way to Parking Lot in the attempt to enter an affiliate's Elegy, which was unlocked at the time, therefore resisting arrest.
    
    In addition to the facts laid out in the arrest report, during processing in the parking lot at Mission Row; Mr. Miguel refused to step out of the back of the police vehicle and when I approached to take him out of the vehicle, I witnessed Mr. Miguel pointing a firearm at myself; he was cuffed with his hands behind his back and he seemed to have reached for a firearm from his person, therefore Brandishing a firearm.
    
    (( Due to the fact that Ronny already faced a lengthy prison sentence, I added the Attempted modifier to the charge in order to ensure that the player wasn't "punished" as severely for doing uncommon roleplay. ))
    
    After he was no longer a threat, Police Officer Russell Sinclair searched Mr. Miguel and found the firearm (Exhibit A) in his possession.

  Witness Affirmation

  • I, Grace Steel, affirm that the above statement is true to the best of my knowledge and belief. I affirm that this statement has been made voluntarily, made without promise of reward, and made not under threat, force, or coercion.

• Parties,
  
  This is to serve as a FIRST notice to the defendant that bench trials are currently scheduled on multiple days throughout the week. Please notify the court if these times do not work for you. The expectation of the court is that each defendant file a notice for availability in the next 7 days. Date, times, and formatting shown here. The courts will only provide the defendant three notices prior to involuntarily dismissing the case in favor of prosecution due to lack of response from the defendant.
  
  Respectfully,

• Honorable Judge Yukimura and pertaining parties,
  
  Due to staffing and scheduling issues, the Prosecution will not be able to provide representation to present this case at trial. Additionally, the Los Santos Police Department has informed that they will likely not be able to self-represent, either. As such, following the bench trial procedure, the provided discovery will stand on its own for judicial review at trial.
  
  Regards,
  
  Terence Williams

While the defense argues that the compensator can be legally purchased, and also does not fit the relevant firearm, based on the evidence provided, the suspect had it on his person at the same time as a firearm that he is not licensed for. Given the way the law is written today, Mr. Miguel is clearly in violation of the third provision of WM03,

State Government wrote: ↑If modifications are in their possession at the time one receives "WM02 - Possession of a Class 1 Firearm" or any Weapons Felony as defined by the penal code as "WFXX"

as he is also charged with WM02 in the arrest report for the possession of a Pistol .50 of which he was not licensed for.

As for the charge of WM01 - Attempted Unlawful Brandishing of a Firearm or Weapon of a Gov. Employee, the lack of information provided in the arrest report as well as the limited information provided in the witness statement has not sufficiently met the burden of proof for this charge. As established in #22-CM-0040, State of San Andreas v. Gregory Gregov, insufficient evidence such as this should result in a not guilty verdict.

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

• On the count of WM03 - Criminal Use of Weapon Modifications, I find the defendant, Ronny Miguel, guilty.
• On the count of WM01 - Attempted Unlawful Brandishing of a Firearm or Weapon of a Gov. Employee, I find the defendant, Ronny Miguel, not 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 $5,000 returned to them for fines, time, and other expenses/inconveniences incurred from the contested charges.
