STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE
My name is xXBoomblast339Xx, and I am a Probationary Agent with the Ridgeway State Police
State Bureau of Investigations. I have been employed in the investigative field within Ridgeway for
many months now, starting with Internal Affairs at the Ridgeway Parks Service and the Ridgeway State
Police. I am a LETC class 7 graduate, and I am certified to be a peace officer in this state. I have
probable cause to believe:
On the 2nd of May, the Department of Justice Tipline received a tip from complainant
MatthewSandringham regarding an incident occurring in front of the Palmer Car Dealership. The
evidence, Exhibit A shows the complainant defending themselves from the defendant who was using an
axe. In the evidence, the defendant is seen attacking the complainant multiple times, backing off and
returning and threatening the complainant by swinging the axe while doing so. In the course of chasing
the complainant, the defendant shatters the windows of the Palmer Car Dealership. A second attacker
speeds through the parking lot, shoots and kills the complainant while the defendant was chasing and
continuing to swing at the complainant.
After reviewing the evidence, on May 8th, I contacted the complainant about the tipline report and I was
able to retrieve more information on the clip’s context out of our conversation. The complainant
affirmed that they were defending themselves from the defendant who was hitting the complainant and
the complainant’s vehicle prior to the beginning of the recording.
