Your affiant, being duly sworn, depose and state that the facts supporting this belief are as follows:
1. Your affiant, SURFINPACIFIC, is a Trooper employed by the Ridgeway State Police, and assigned
to the State Bureau of Investigations as a Special Agent. I have presently been employed with the
Ridgeway State Police since September of 2026, but have served in the Ridgeway State Police
during a past tenure. I have extensive law enforcement experience, specifically focused in criminal
investigation as well as misconduct investigations. I have been employed by the Palmer Police
Department as an Internal Affairs investigator (2021), a Lead Investigator within the Ridgeway
Parks Service Internal Affairs division (2021), an investigator within the Law Enforcement Training
Center investigations office (2022) as well as with the Ridgeway State Police as the Sergeant of
Internal Affairs as well as a Corporal within the State Bureau of Investigation (2021-2022). My
experience is dated beginning in February of 2021 with my graduation from Class 3 of the
Ridgeway Law Enforcement Training Center. My experience in investigative techniques and my
thorough understanding of law enforcement directly support my statements made towards
establishing probable cause.
2. As a result of my employment, I am a credentialed law enforcement officer of the State of
Ridgeway that is empowered by law to conduct criminal investigations and make arrests for
offenses codified in the State of Ridgeway Criminal Code. Additionally, within my employment with
an investigative branch of the Ridgeway State Police, I have received extensive training on
investigative tactics, criminal investigation, misconduct investigations, criminal law and other
topics in accordance with my employment.

3. This affidavit is being submitted in support of a criminal complaint alleging that ICITRUZX violated
the aforementioned criminal statutes.
4. This affidavit is based on my personal knowledge, information provided to me by other law
enforcement agents, my training and experience, as well as the training and experience of other
law enforcement agents.
5. Because this affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause in
support of a criminal complaint, I have not included every fact known to me concerning this
investigation. I have only set forth the facts that I believe are necessary to establish probable
cause that the defendant violated the state criminal laws set forth herein.
6. All timestamps referenced in this Probable Cause statement are set in Eastern Daylight Time
(EDT).
7. On the 23rd of July, 2026, the Palmer Police Department Professional Standards division received
an employee complaint tipline report from the complainant, FRYISPRO, alleging that at
approximately 1026 hours, the defendant, Sergeant ICITRUZX, violated the department’s use of
force policy by utilizing unauthorized force against a subject that was detained as well as against
the officer that was detaining the subject.
8. The video evidence submitted by the complainant (Exhibit A) depicts the defendant, ICITRUZX,
while in the course of assisting with search warrant execution security on the roof of the Ridgeway
County Sheriff’s Office Headquarters, responding to gunfire. In response to the gunfire, the
defendant shot at, and towards the sound of the gunshots, and while doing so, shot at and killed
the detainee, who was detained for allegedly being the perpetrator of the shots,
PATRICKSTARCHEEKS1, as well as the law enforcement officer detaining Victim #1,
DANNYDOESAPPROVE, a Park Ranger employed with the Ridgeway Parks Service in a law
enforcement capacity, who will be referred to as Victim #2.
9. In Exhibit A, at 0:05, Victim #1 is clearly depicted detained in cuffs by Victim #2.

10. Upon conclusion of the Palmer Police Department’s investigation conducted by their Professional
Standards division, they found that the defendant violated their Use of Force policy, took their own
administrative action, and the investigation findings (Exhibit C) were subsequently forwarded to
the Ridgeway State Police Office of State Investigations to investigate for potential criminal
violations of the Ridgeway Criminal Code (Exhibit B).
11. In the complainant interview conducted by the Palmer Police Department Professional Standards
division (Exhibit D), the complainant, FryIsPro explained that himself, his military police student, as
well as the defendant were on location at the Ridgeway County Sheriff’s Office Headquarters,
serving in a roof security position for the execution of a search warrant.
12. In Exhibit D, the complainant was asked if there had been any shootings prior to the
incident-in-question, where the defendant is alleged to have committed the aforementioned
violations. The complainant stated that there had been 1 to 2 shooters prior to this incident.
Additionally, the complainant was asked if it was possible that the defendant perceived the
detainee as a threat and mistook them to be a shooter, to which the complainant made the point of
the defendant’s experience as a Sergeant, as well as the military police student on-scene having
enough recall to avoid making the same mistake. It is of my professional determination that an
individual, employed as a Sergeant, should be able to make a reasonable, calculated decision of
who to utilize force against in the heat of the moment.
13. Voluntary Manslaughter is defined as, “Whoever causes the death of another in the heat of
passion.” In this case, the defendant’s response to the shooting at the Ridgeway County Sheriff’s
Office Headquarters would be considered the heat of passion, and in their response to that
shooting, while in the heat of passion, killed both of the victims, thus committing Voluntary
Manslaughter.
14. Upon a thorough review of the post-investigation results, as well as reviewing the supporting
evidence provided by the complainant in the initial misconduct tipline submission as well as
additional information obtained through the interviews conducted by Professional Standards
through their own investigation, your affiant has reason to believe that probable cause exists for
two counts of RCC § 3.04 Voluntary Manslaughter.

15. It is your affiant’s professional determination, that the defendant, while responding to gunshots
serving in a perimeter security position for a Search Warrant execution, the defendant killed the
two victims, knowingly or unknowingly, but while responding in the heat of passion. At the time of
the offenses, Victim #1, identified as PATRICKSTARCHEEKS1, was detained in cuffs by Victim #2,
DANNYDOESAPPROVE, a law enforcement Park Ranger within the Ridgeway Parks Service, thus
negating the need to stop the threat as the threat was already detained, and thus neutralized,
being unable to inflict further harm in the moment.
16. Additionally, it is of the affiant’s professional determination, that at the time of the defendant
opening fire, there was reasonable time allotted with the threat being neutralized through
detainment, for the defendant to make a reasonable decision to not even engage with lethal force.
There was a documented delay between the shots ending, and the defendant opening fire.
17. Based on the above facts and circumstances, it is your affiant’s belief that probable cause exists to
warrant a Criminal Complaint to be filed against ICITRUZX in violation of:
RCC § 3.04 Voluntary Manslaughter ON 2 counts
18. Based on all the foregoing, I respectfully request a Criminal Complaint be issued on ICITRUZX for
the charges described in the immediately foregoing section of this affidavit.
