The Superior Court Bench Trial system runs off of defendant responsiveness. If defendants are interacting with the court or their attorney, a Notice to Schedule will be posted with all parties being able note their availability. A Judge will then pick the most suitable time for trial. Once a trial has been scheduled, the court will consider most submissions to be final.

Prior to scheduling, the defendant is encouraged to reach out to a licensed defense attorney in order to prepare a proper defense. The defendant is further encouraged to speak with an authorized individual at Rockford Hills City Hall, Mission Row Police Station, or Paleto Bay Sheriff's Office for official clarification on the specific charges received and their respective date and times, as once the case has been activated, any omitted charges will be considered abandoned and unable to be disputed within this case.

Respectfully,

The State of San Andreas, by and through the undersigned attorney, filed this Motion for Discovery, and presents the following as evidence;

• Exhibit #1 Arrest report

  

  

  Los Santos Police Department ARREST REPORT "TO PROTECT AND TO SERVE"

  • ARREST DETAILS
    • Arresting Officer: Keith Knol
      Callsign: 4-A-26
      
      Date of Arrest: 16/MAY/2026
      Officers Involved:
      • Police Cadet Jonathan Martin
      • Police Officer II Keith Knol
      • Police Officer I Ryder Mansour
      Narrative: Explain what happened in detail, provide sufficient detail to justify the charges. Video and image evidence can be provided. Specifically state why each charge listed was placed.
      
      4-A-26 with the driver Police Cadet Jonathan Martin and passenger Police Officer II Keith Knol was patroling when a black terminus was driving onto the sidewalk and hit a lamp-post, destroying that in the process. 4-A-26 initiated a 10-55 on the Black terminus. While 4-A-26 was stod behind the black Terminus getting ready to talk on the megaphone they were talking about illegal items such as pump's and .50s, tallking about removing ammo and placing the gun in the glovebox etc. While they were talking they said they would shoot the cadet and kill him: "Yo bro go in the glovebox and grab the shotgun and when the cadet comes close we will blow his head off".
      
      This lead us to believe that the 2 people in the terminus was armed and dangerous, making cadet Jonathan Martin fear for his life. That was audible from the police cruiser. The previous 10-55 that would only been a verbal warning and a possible citation was now turned into a 10-66 due to the criminal threats to the officer and cadet's life. 10-66 was continued to perform the 10-66 and they were both cuffed and searched. No ther illegal belongings was found. The 2 suspects was brought to MRPD to serve their sentence.
      
      Jerry Bickenford was charged with:
      GM13 - Criminal Threats. For threatening a government employee.
      
      Cletus Johnson was charged with:
      GM13 - Criminal Threats. For threatening a government employee.
      VM03 - Reckless Operation of a Road or Marine Vehicle.

• A driver and their passenger were pulled over for a traffic stop.
• A occupants of the stopped vehicle discussed illegal weaponry and ammunition.
• A statement from one of the individuals was made about shooting an officer on scene.

---

---

The prosecution argues that the defendant made direct threats towards a government employee during a traffic stop. The spoke on relevancy of the weapon being present or the lack of presence of a weapon do not play a part on the case at hand. They argue that officer response, i.e. upgrading the stop to the point where extra backup was required, denotes the seriousness of the statement.

The defense argues that the defendant did not have intent to cause harm as they lacked the means to do so. The defense further argues that there was no weapon found in the glove compartment in the vehicle or on the persons of either individual listed on the arrest report.

---

---

While the Court acknowledges that the language allegedly used by the defendants was inappropriate and concerning, the evidence reflects an overheard conversation about guns in the glove box and shooting a deputy upon approach, between the occupants of the vehicle rather than a threat directly communicated to law enforcement. Furthermore, no weapons were recovered, no overt act was taken toward carrying out the alleged threat (i.e. reaching into the glove box during the stop), and the discovery submitted fails to show that the statements were intended to place the officers in fear of imminent bodily harm rather than constituting idle bravado or jokingly stated remarks.

The court also notes that they cannot determine which individual allegedly made the threatening statement. While the arrest report attributes the remarks collectively to "they," the quoted statement reflects a single speaker addressing another occupant of the vehicle. The report does not identify whether the driver or passenger made the statement, nor does it establish that the non-speaking occupant encouraged or participated in the alleged threat. In the context of the charge GM13 - Criminal Threats, the court believes criminal liability is individual in nature, which means the Court cannot infer that both occupants are equally responsible based solely upon their presence within the same vehicle.

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

• On the count of GM13 - Criminal Threats (Gov. Emp.), I find the defendant, Jerry Bickenford, 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 $37,000 returned to them for fines, time, and other expenses/inconveniences incurred from the contested charges.

So Ordered,
