  • I was in an Adam patrol with Officer Marks when officers were called to city parking for crowd control. Billy Papalardo was seen with a musket on his back and was slurring. The man seemed extremely intoxicated. I was under orders and duty to arrest Papalardo for unlawful brandishing. When he was asked to hand over his weapon, he refused. After a bit of convincing billy became compliant and entered the back of my cruiser. we looked up the weapons serial number and found that the owner was unknown. Papalardo insisted that it was his and we weren't allowed to take the weapon from him. I processed Papalardo at MRPD for public intoxication while Breacher verified if having a musket was a crime. I was not present for his secondary arrest when he had a revolver.

    Date of Birth: 07/JUL/1983
    Phone Number: N/A
    Occupation: Police Commander, Los Santos Police Department

  Witness Statement

  • On Feb. 23rd, 2026, Billy Pappalardo was seen at legion square actively intoxicated, drinking alcohol and carrying a musket slung over his shoulder near the main city public parking lot on the sidewalk. Officers including myself, Officer Zing and one to two others were on scene for crowd control and to investigate Billy's actions. Given Billy was drunk and continuing to actively consume more alcohol at the time, as well as unsure of the legality of the musket he was carrying, we took action to detain him. Billy was placed into cuffs, read his miranda rights and frisked. We confiscated his alcohol and the musket. Unsure of what the proper charge was as the time for carrying the unloaded musket, we seized it temporarily while we investigated this further but were certain it was unsafe for the public at the time for him to continue to carry it regardless due to his drunk state. Since we did not at the time have a charge for the musket, we simply arrested him for public intoxication to give him time to cool down and recover. I drove to city hall and had a discussion regarding the matter with a prosecutor of the Judicial Branch where we determined unlawful brandishing of a firearm would fit the situation best in relation to the musket and I would permanently seize the musket for safety and legal purposes based on the LSPD's firearms licensing policies. Billy did not have any kind of valid firearms license for any type of weapon, and he was drunk at the time of carrying it around, both of which were standard violations of firearms licensing agreements. Once Billy was released from his first jail sentence for public intoxication, I found him at Mission Row station asking for his belongings back, including the musket. At this time, I saw he had a revolver in his waistband of this pants. I once again placed him in cuffs, both to arrest him on the charge of unlawful brandishing for the musket, as well as possession of a class 1 firearm knowing he did not have a gun license for the revolver. The revolver was then confiscated and Billy was processed for jail once more.

He was subsequently charged with illegal brandishing of a firearm due to the fact that he was unlawfully exhibiting the gun in public and carrying it without a proper weapons license. Billy then served his jail sentence and came back to MRPD to claim his legal possessions with an illegal heavy revolver in his waistband. I arrested him again for carry an illegally obtained and unlicensed heavy revolver.

We appreciate the defenses Notification of Counsel. Given the lack of response to the Motion for Joinder, the court will be moving forward with the motion for the sake of preserving the time of all involved. That being said, the defendant will be contesting the charges:

• NM05 - Public Intoxication
• WM01 - Unlawful Brandishing of a Firearm or Weapon
• WM02 - Possession of a Class 1 Firearm

Each of which were incurred on the 24th of February. These charges are a combination of both: #26-BT-0023 State of San Andreas v. Billy Pappalardo and #26-BT-0024 State of San Andreas v. Billy Pappalardo. Given the decision of the Court, we will be archiving #26-BT-0024 State of San Andreas v. Billy Pappalardo and moving forward with the combined cases under #26-BT-0023 State of San Andreas v. Billy Pappalardo.

So Ordered,

• The defendant was observed in an intoxicated state at city parking.
• The defendant was in possession of a musket.
• The defendant was found in possession of a heavy revolver.

The prosecution argues the defendant was seen intoxicated, drinking alcohol, slurring his words, and stumbling around. In response to the defense, the prosecution stated the defendant was not charged for the musket. They were charged for the revolver, which they argue is a semi-automatic handgun because it can be fired repeatedly, and that the defendant had no valid gun license.

The defense argued that the defendant did not hold the weapon in his hands at any point in time. It was holstered, not in hand, and not being waved. They also argued that the defendant was detained due to a misapplication of the penal code, as simply consuming alcohol does not equal NM05 - Public Intoxication, and being drunk in public does not equal public intoxication. Lastly, they argued that the defendant was not in possession of a semi-automatic handgun as the law states, but rather a manually operated handgun.

---

---

While the consumption of alcohol in public is not, in itself, unlawful, the evidence presented demonstrates that the defendant’s level of intoxication exceeded mere consumption. Testimony from multiple officers consistently describes the defendant as slurring his speech, stumbling, and appearing extremely intoxicated in a public setting. The Court finds this level of impairment sufficient to establish that the defendant was unable to adequately care for his own safety while in public.

In regard to the charge of brandishing, the penal code requires evidence that the defendant drew, exhibited, brandished, or used a weapon without lawful reason. In this case, the evidence presented establishes only that the defendant had a musket slung on his back. The Court finds no indication that the defendant drew the weapon, used it in a threatening manner, or displayed it in a way intended to intimidate others.

The Court notes that the current statutory framework limits Class 1 firearms to semi-automatic handguns. While the Court recognizes that this definition may not encompass all types of pistols or handguns, it is not within the authority of the Court to expand the scope of the statute beyond its plain language. Any broader classification of handguns, including manually operated firearms such as revolvers, must be addressed through legislative action rather than judicial interpretation. Accordingly, the Court finds that the heavy revolver in question does not meet the definition of a Class 1 firearm, as it is not a semi-automatic handgun under the penal code.

The Court further notes that the classification of a firearm is separate from the legality of its possession. Regardless of classification, firearms possession and carry are subject to regulation through the applicable licensing framework established by executive authority. The evidence presented establishes that the defendant did not hold a valid license at the time of the incident. Accordingly, while the weapon itself is not prohibited by definition, the defendant’s possession of it was not in compliance with those regulatory requirements.

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

• On the count of NM05 - Public Intoxication, I find the defendant, Billy Pappalardo, guilty.
• On the count of WM01 - Unlawful Brandishing of a Firearm or Weapon, I find the defendant, Billy Pappalardo, not guilty.
• On the count of WM02 - Possession of a Class 1 Firearm, I find the defendant, Billy Pappalardo, not guilty.

The defendant should make their way to City Hall at their earliest convenience to have the changes to their record noted, as well as the payment of $13,000 returned to them for fines, time, and other expenses or inconveniences incurred from the contested charges.

So Ordered,
