Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: On February 26th around noon, officers from Central Division responded to a radio call of a man with a knife at a restaurant in the 300 block of 5th Street in downtown Los Angeles. The officers met with a woman who told them she'd been inside the restaurant with the suspect and other patrons when the suspect threatened to slit her neck with a folding knife he was holding. As additional officers arrived they developed a plan to arrest the suspect who is refusing to come out of the restaurant. At one point while the officers were communicating with the suspect he told the officers he had a gun. Officers attempted to communicate with the suspect for approximately 10 minutes in an effort to get him to come out of the restaurant, however those efforts were unsuccessful and less lethal force was used. officers fired three rounds from a 40 millimeter device, and two rounds from a beanbag shotgun. The officers were eventually able to enter the restaurant to take the suspect into custody.
One of the officers located the knife the suspect had been holding and removed it from the immediate area where the officers were struggling with the suspect. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for medical treatment for an injury to one of his hands. The knife the suspect had been armed with was a folding knife with a blade that measured approximately four inches in length. The suspect was identified as Kenneth Sylvas, a 68 year old resident of Los Angeles. He has a criminal history which includes an arrest and conviction for criminal threats and 11 convictions for being drunk in public disturbing the peace and driving on a suspended license. On February 28th 2019 the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office filed one count of criminal threats and two counts of resisting arrest. |

Records subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Government Code § 6250 et seq.) "Public records" include "any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics." (Cal. Gov't. Code § 6252(e).) notes that "[a]ll public records are subject to disclosure unless the Public Records Act expressly provides otherwise." County of Santa Clara v. CFAC California Government Code § 6254 lists categories of documents not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. In addition, computer software is not considered a public record, while data and statistics collected (whether collected knowingly or unknowingly) by a government authority whose powers derive from the laws of California are public records (such as license plate reader images) pursuant to EFF & ACLU of Southern California v. Los Angeles Police Department & Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and are not exempt from disclosure and are public records. Although the act only covers “writing,” the Act, pursuant to Government Code § 6252(g), states: “Writing” means any handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every other means of recording upon any tangible thing any form of communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored.

The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright and any works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted outside of the United States without clear evidence to the contrary:
