2 AFR 23 FN 2:14
(Pursuant to California Government Code § 910 et seq.)

CILY CLERA
TO: CITY CLERK, CITY OF RIALTO
150 S. Palm Avenue
Rialto, CA 92376
CLAIMANTS:

1. Ernesto Ruiz
134 S Willow Ave, Rialto, Ca, 92376

2. Jeffery Sabauste
134 S Willow Ave, Rialto, Ca, 92376
I. DATE AND PLACE OF INCIDENTS
The injuries occurred through a series of targeted law enforcement actions on November 9, 2025, and November 27, 2025, in the immediate vicinity of 134 S. Willow Avenue, Rialto, CA, and within the West Valley Detention Center.

II: DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE (Gov. Code § 910(c))
This claim involves a pattern of retaliatory "street-level" harassment by the Rialto Police Department intended to intimidate the owner and associates of the property at 134 S.

Willow Avenue.

A. Ernesto Ruiz (November 9, 2025):

Mr. Ruiz, the caretaker of the subject property, was walking towards 134 S Willow Ave.

Rialto, Ca, 92376 when he was stopped by Rialto Police. Despite being compliant, a second officer arrived and violently kicked Mr. Ruiz from behind, launching him face-first into oncoming traffic. Mr. Ruiz suffered a dislocated knee and four bruised ribs. He was subsequently detained for 48 hours and denied medical attention. Officers explicitly threatened that requesting medical care would result in a longer jail stay. This incident was a pretextual arrest for "public intoxication" (PC 647(f)) intended to harass the property's management.

B. Jeffery Sabauste (November 27, 2025):

Mr. Sabauste and Mr. Ruiz was targeted for a pretextual property check (Ticket #169320) on South Willow Avenue, directly on the subject property 134 S Willow Ave. Rialto, 92376. This check was part of a "cordon" strategy where Rialto PD monitors and cites any individual entering or exiting 134 S. Willow Avenue to facilitate the City's goal of declaring the property a "public nuisance" for municipal expansion.

IIII. DESCRIPTION OF INJURY AND LOSS (Gov. Code § 910(d))

1. Physical Injuries (Ruiz): Dislocated knee, four bruised ribs, atypical chest pain, and chronic back pain (confirmed by medical records dated 3/20/2026).

2. Emotional Distress: Severe trauma, humiliation, and anxiety resulting from the use of excessive force and the threat of oncoming traffic.

3. Civil Rights Violations: Violation of the Fourth Amendment (unreasonable seizure), the Fourteenth Amendment (Due Process), and the Bane Act (Civ. Code § 52.1).

4. Economic Loss: Loss of wages, medical expenses, and legal defense costs.

IV. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES INVOLVED (Gov. Code § 910(e))
Timothy Sun (Code Enforcement Manager), and other Doe Officers of the Rialto Police Department.

V. AMOUNT OF CLAIM (Gov. Code 8910(f))
The total amount claimed is $18,000,000.00. Because the claim exceeds $10,000, it is an unlimited civil case.

VI. LEGAL BASIS FOR LIABILITY

1. Battery and Excessive Force: The unprovoked physical assault on Ernesto Ruiz.

2. False Arrest/Imprisonment: Pretextual stops without probable cause.

3. Bane Act (Civ. Code § 52.1): Interference with constitutional rights through "threats, intimidation, or coercion." The City's use of physical violence to influence a property dispute constitutes a classic Bane Act violation.

4. Failure to Furnish Medical Care (Gov. Code $ 845.6): Intentionally discouraging and denying medical care for Ruiz's dislocated knee while in custody.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

March 19, 2026
To whom it may concern,
On Saturday November 8th, 2026, at approximately 8:30 pm I began walking home from Fontana to Rialto going eastbound on Arrow Highway. I was walking home from attending band rehearsal as I am a singer and a musician. About half ways through the walk home about 30mins in, I began to sweat and my shirt got wet. As a singer I knew I couldn't get sick, therefore I took my shirt off for the rest of the walk home. I was alone the whole walk didn't interfere with one person at all; it was a very peaceful walk. I was approximately one block away from my house. I live right next to the police station they know exactly who I am because I have been dealing with the city and the police department over my building being unfairly red tagged. The officer was barely pulling out of the police department 1 believe they were starting their shift.

As I continued walking at a normal pace without any problems, he made an illegal U- turn and lite me up. I politely greet the office. I'm sure as he saw me walking down the street with no shirt it could cause some concern that I possibly needed help or maybe got into a fight and lost my shirt. At this moment I'm not sure why he detained me, but I remained compliant and explain my situation to the officer. I pointed to exactly where I live, you could see my house from where I was stopped.

I attempted to be responsible by walk, as my driver was slightly intoxicated to drive andI could not miss rehearsal. Everyone was only waiting on me to begin. I told him I took my shirt off because I've been walking since Fontana and Sierra by the other Fontana Police Department and I didn't want to get sick from my wet shirt. I have no tattoos or have I ever been arrested in my life. He asks for my identification, and I asked if 1 was being detained and if I was, what crime was I suspected of committed. He stated: well, you're out here by our police cars with no shirt on. I politely said I understand but I told you I'm walking home, and I didn't want to get sick, so I took my shirt off. I told him I have no criminal record, but I still give him my license number, he ran my information without probably causing or justification. At that time a second police officer shows up as back up. I recognize the cop immediately from a previous encounter I was not a part of but witness too. He is rude to people and goes beyond his job title and was definitely abusing his status and power. I told the arresting officer" Oh man this isn't goingto end well I know that officer he is a gunnie from the army" when that officer heard that comment he whispered into the arresting officer ear, but I'm too far away to hear what he said. At this point they knew who I am and where I lived, at the house they want to but to build their new parking lot. My backyard is the police station parking lots for all the civilian vehicles they have already bought the old mortuary next to me and have been fighting with me to get my property unjustly. At this point I'm fully compliant and have answered every question they have but have not answered any of mine. I am sitting on the curb with my hands behind my back but without cuffs, I still don't get any answers about why I'm being detained or what crime I haven't been suspended of committing. I believe at this point is when this went astray.

The arresting officer comes and tries to cuff me. Without reading me my rights or telling me why I'm being arrested in the first place at all. While I'm sitting on the curb, I move my hands to the front of me without trying to get up and say, "hey this is illegal you need to tell me why I was detained and especially why I'm being arrested". I can see my house I'm so close had no problem at all the whole walk home until I got stopped by Rialto PD. The second aggressive officer suddenly kicks me from the back into the street completely caught off guard I several damage both of my knees and fall face first into the street into oncoming traffic. At this point I'm scared from my life because I don't want to get hit by oncoming traffic since I was completely caught off guard, I was literally in the middle of the street they scrap me all over the ground unnecessarily. And then once I'm upset and blown away by the way I've been treated then they tell me public intoxication. They never did any sobriety tests or read me my rights I told them I had come from a show and a couple drinks there, but I was never driving I choose to do the right thing and just walk home. What kind of world do we live in here the people sworn to protect and serve us are allowed to treat civilians like this and get away with breaking the law?
At this point I'm in the back of the police going to the Rialto police department 50 feet from my house. Unbelievable that something like this happened. I'm put in the tank and then transferred to West valley when my ticket says cite and release. I spend over 48 hours in jail with a dislocated knee and 4 bruised ribs and scratches and bruises everyone and they didn't even give me my shirt back. When I got out and started getting transferred to West valley that's when my knee started to swell up extremely bad, but no one cared I felt humiliated and degraded. I was being treated like an animal without any criminal history. I believe what they did was to scare me away from my property and retaliation for the headache we have given the police department and the city of Rialto. I felt they want to bend the rules in their favor to ultimately break the law and bulldoze my house
Under certain laws the property I caretake for is a history by building it cannot build taking down for any parking lots or parks or any other city services. It's the law. Once I get to West valley I'm in terrible pain and can barely walk I tell the officer who is transferring me there that "hey I think I need medical attention for my knee I'm in a lot of pain" she says if I ask for medical attention I will stay longer in jail Which makes no sense to me at all. Remember I have never been arrested or in jail my whole 38 years on this planet I don't know how the jail system works but I know from firsthand experience that it's broke. I was coached and groomed into not telling the first medic that checked me in about my condition I'm limping to the medical office and the officer says " stop limping or you're going to stay longer" I tell her I can't help it I'm in excruciating pain. I sit with the medic and say I'm fine because I don't want to stay longer in jail after I get checked in I ask for medication and I'm denied I asked for a shirt and took them almost 28 hours for a shirt. We don't have toilet paper, and I have to shit on the toilet for an hour without being able to wipe I'm on the toilet so long without paper I fall asleep
That was the most humiliating part of my life to date I will never forget that experience and the traumas people are put thru
8 domestic violence cases 3 DUIs case and 2 illegal arm possession and I'm the only one with severe injuries. I was targets and intimidated but the Rialto police department and am I asking for a full investigation on the actions taken by both officers on scene and full body camera footage of both officers and the video camera footage of West valley showing me limping and being couched to not say anything and hide the abuse and assault of the officers. I will be taking legal against to make sure no one else suffers this injustice by the people sworn to protect. I can provide pictures and documentation from Arrowhead hospital. That is the hospital I went to immediately after getting out of that hell hole you guys' call. Jail...

Chest Pain Observation
Introductiont is often hard to give a specific diagnosis for the cause of chest pain. Along with other possible causes, your symptoms might be caused by not getting enough oxygen delivered to your heart (angina). Angina that is not treated or evaluated can lead to a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or death.

Blood tests, electrocardiograms, and X-rays may have been done to help figure out a possible cause of your chest pain. After evaluation and observation, your health care provider has determined that it is unlikely your pain was caused by an unstable condition that requires hospitalization. However, a full evaluation of your pain may need to be completed and may include additional tests.

Follow these instructions at home:Eating and drinking
• Decrease your salt intake.
• Eat a balanced, healthy diet. Talk to a dietitian to learn about heart-healthy foods. • Increase your fiber intake by including whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts in your diet.

Lifestyle •
• Maintain or work toward achieving a healthy weight.

Stay physically active and exercise regularly.
• Avoid situations that cause stress, anger, or depression.

Do not use any products that contain nicotine or tobacco, such as cigarettes and e-cigarettes. If you need help quitting, ask your health care provider. • Limit alcohol intake to no more than 1 drink a day for nonpregnant women and 2 drinks a day for men. One drink equals 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine, or 1½ oz of hard liquor. • Do not use illegal drugs.
