      Deputies Involved: Zero Hunter, Vincenzo Callas, Cole Lawless, Tom Brown, Arnold Rimmer

      Provide details of the incident leading up to the arrest
      • There was a failed attempted robbery at 68 bank and units were responding to a pursuit that led them away from it. At this time I decided to go undercover and watch over the bank as I saw numerous vehicles still in the area that might be associated with the previous attempt at the bank. I found a location with cover after searching the entire area, at the opposite side of the bank on the roof I found their scout looking at the front of the bank calling out cops. We made a plan to get units there quickly without enough time for their scouts to alert them and managed to do so coming north from the dirt road from Senora.

        As we all set up at the front of the bank numerous suspects ran out of the bank, all the suspects ran past the numerous firearms and attempted to get onto their bikes and cars. As it was a serious felony most had their guns out but I kept my tazer out just in case, managing to tase over 3-4 suspects trying to get into their vehicles to leave. The suspect I detained hopped onto in his vehicle and began to drive away numerous times but was tazed and fell off. He fell onto the floor where whilst he got up I tried cuffing but he broke his cuffs and kept running to drive away. He was eventually restrained and placed into the back of a car. He was taken to DOC where they processed him.

    Witness Statement
    • [I was undercover watching over the 68 Bank due to suspicions of a group of people attempting to rob the bank. I sat by behind a tree and watched numerous vehicles arrive and get out, getting into the bank. Russo was one of the individuals who arrived at the bank. Multiple units arrived silently and were able to secure the front of the bank. Most of the suspects ran out of the bank after having committed the attempted robbery. I attempted to tase numerous people, and Russo was one of them. Russo got in his vehicle, tried to leave and drive off, but only because I managed to tase him mid-accelerating, would he fall out and onto the floor. His resisting charge comes from me attempting to cuff him, but he would resist them, pushing me off him and again attempting to run. Finally, when checking his car, a GPS tracking device was found.]

  • Exhibit #3: Bodycam footage - Investigator Zero Hunter, 08/APR/2025
    * The bodycam footage would show Hunter undercover, watching over the bank and arriving on the scene with multiple units as they got out of their vehicles and covered the front door. At this moment, shots began to be fired from behind the units, hitting numerous deputies and officers. Attention would stay facing the bank entrance, and the suspects would all run out at the same time, trying to get onto their bikes. Numerous individuals would get onto their bikes and leave/try to leave. Hunter managed to tase 3 different suspects, all of whom got onto their bikes or cars and began to evade, who were either accelerating, slowing down or crashing.

    Russo would be one of these individuals seen leaving the bank. He would start to drive off and be tased and stopped, and cuffs would be attempted. He would then resist the cuffing and get tased again. He would Russo would finally be detained and placed into a car, where he would wait and be taken to DOC by Lawless. I remained on the scene to wait for the impounding of the vehicles. Whilst unlocking and searching vehicles, in the vehicle checked to be registered to Phil Russo, a GPS tracker would be found in the glovebox.

Hello, @Sayaka Yukimura

At this time, I am asking the court for a continuance. I have not been assigned a public defender at this time.

((The reasoning I am requesting a continuance is ooc. The "bodycam footage" provided is not factual. I would like to state that I requested Zero to record his POV.

@Terence Williams and @Zero Hunter Please review "Exhibit #3: Bodycam footage - Investigator Zero Hunter, 08/APR/2025" And update the RP. You are stating things in which I did not do. Update the wording to reflect what happened or simply remove any refence to my name.

If this is not updated in 40 hours I will have to report you both for powergaming.
))

Thank you,
Phil Russo

COURT DECISION


IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Phil Russo
#25-BT-0087

A decision was reached in the above case on the 27th 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,
