SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA — On November 6, 2014, at 2:45 p.m., San Diego Police Department’s Communications Division received a call requesting “cover” from the California Highway Patrol at the De Anza Cove boat Launch. Both CHP and SDPD officers responded and learned that CHP Officer Alex Pereira had responded to a radio call of a hit and run on the northbound 5 freeway. A witness reported a gray Toyota Camry ran into part of the freeway divide and continued to exit at Clairemont Drive.
Pereira searched the area adjacent to I-5 at Clairemont Drive until he located an unoccupied gray 2007 Toyota Camry parked in the boat launch parking lot. The vehicle had front end damage. Pereira searched the area and he located people who directed him south along the west sidewalk near the water. Pereira estimated that he traveled over a mile southbound until he found a woman in neon shorts and dyed red hair. Pereira brought the female back to the boat launch area and identified her as Casaundra Rose Lane. Pereira uncuffed Lane and he began a hit-and-run investigation. When Lane could not locate her registration, he ran the license plate on her vehicle and learned the vehicle had been reported stolen.
Pereira then placed Lane under arrest and once again handcuffed her. This time, however, Pereira placed her in the back seat of his patrol vehicle. His patrol vehicle was not equipped with a prisoner cage. Pereira placed the vehicle in the shade, left the patrol car running and exited the patrol car to inventory the contents of the stolen vehicle.
A tow truck driver on scene then observed Lane climbing over the front seat and into the driver’s seat of the CHP vehicle, and told Pereira that the woman was taking his car. Pereira responded by running toward his vehicle, as Lane was already in motion, driving toward, but turning away from Pereira, who described Lane as grabbing for rifle in his car. Lane would later strenuously deny having grabbed for the rifle at that time. Pereira fired approximately three rounds towards his patrol car, as Lane fled eastbound through the parking lot and toward Mission Bay Drive, eventually entering the I-5 freeway.

On November 7, 2014, San Diego Police Department published a press release titled “POLICE IDENTIFY SUSPECT IN OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING," within which SDPD wrote:
“The suspect then got into the driver's seat of the running patrol vehicle and attempted to run-down the CHP Officer while also trying to remove a rifle from the vehicle’s console. * * * Without warning, the suspect began to exit the vehicle. Believing the suspect was armed and a danger to the officers and the numerous citizens at the scene, one officer fired one shot at the suspect from his service weapon. The suspect was taken into custody and was not injured.â€
Based on San Diego Police Department’s own internal records, SDPD knew that their statements were materially false. They also had good reason to believe that you would never be able to know.
When this incident occurred, California law did not provide the public with the right to access any of the records seen and heard in this video. Meaning, for example, that as far as the police were concerned you were never going to see the dash camera video or hear any of the interviews. Of which there were many.
As shown by SDPD’s own investigatory material, SDPD was not convinced that Lane had tried to “run over†(or even strike) the CHP trooper, nor that she had tried to remove the rifle from vehicle’s console. [That came later.] When Lane exited the patrol vehicle and was fired upon, officers had been ordering her to get out of the vehicle, though it does not appear that she heard them, and it does appear that the officer who fired genuinely believed her to have a gun… in part because SDPD dispatch had mistakenly broadcast over the air that the suspect had fired at the CHP trooper. Another bit of information they conveniently forgot to tell you.
Finally, it requires an impossibly-long stretch of the imagination to conclude that Lane being bit on her leg by a police dog is not an "injury." Multiple photographs of that wound — taken by the San Diego Police Department — are shown in this video.
Until today, none of the above had been reported anywhere. Ever.
Transparency is important.
The full case file will be available on Patreon shortly.
They've shot so many pics from the suspect from so many angles that a 3D artist could easily create a 3D character of her.
With hair like that it's not surprising
Anyone know why there are photos of police men as though they had been arrested?
She drove at the officer lol the old stand by so they can legally shoot you the cop ran towards the car lol
When 27 looks like 45. This is what drugs does to a human.
Jc this video is a mess
I see Ronald McDonald’s daughter is making the family proud.
That call to dispatch must have been painful, guys guys she took my cop car 😆, she must be stopped at all costs, she's on I5, I fired shots, she has my dignity with her. PlEase help
Look what years of Meth will do to you
She was reaching for the other weapon my ass. He shot at her to stop his patrol vehicle from getting stolen.

That chopper has a SWEET zoom!
Anytime a criminal steals your patrol car somewhere along the way you done royally Trucked up.
The cop really made up that whole story so that he could kill her 🤦ðŸ¾â€â™€ï¸.
She must have spent a lot of money getting that rather unique scumbag look.
More ink than a comic book.
I bet they thought that was cute and she got a slap on the wrist
Trying to work out why the title said woman with bright red hair, what has the colour of her hair got to do with anything?
Lol she's got red hair, a celtic tattoo, a tribal tattoo, a yin-yang, a tramp stamp… What a woman.
If I steal a cop car I'm expecting someone to shoot me
I ever seen her in GTA game l think she will stolen aircraft next step sure 😬😬😬😬
She’s got a set of balls…that’s for sure! I wonder how much time she got. Does anyone know?
3:53 that golf course looks niiiiice
The unloved high-school bullies… now Militarized Keystone Cops are 99% responsible for this carnage. Perhaps they should install ejector seats or self destruct buttons for their daily S.N.A.F.U's. That'll teach em!
Crazy redheads.
I bet she spended 10 of her 27 years in prison already. Some more are about to come ! ðŸ˜
