OPINION: Sacramento police arrested Justin Shephard after his girlfriend said that he beat her, pointed a gun at her and threatened to kill her. Sacramento DA Schubert didn't file charges until Chesa Boudin's office did over a similar incident in The City.
Three months later, police responded to another domestic violence call involving Shepard. This incident, however, happened in San Francisco — a city with a DA who Schubert loves to attack as weak on crime. On Aug. 6, SFPD officers responded to reports of a domestic violence incident involving Shepard and the same victim at the Marriott Marquis hotel on Fourth Street. Officers found the distraught woman, who took off her mask to reveal a bloody mouth.
Here’s where the plot thickens. After Boudin charged Shepard, Schubert’s office reversed course and charged Shepard in the May incident. Her office also requested San Francisco cede jurisdiction to Sacramento, but Boudin’s office declined. That’s right, three counties. In December, after his arrests in Sacramento and San Francisco, Shepard was also charged with a domestic violence offense in Solano County. Clearly, Shepard’s predilection for violence was so out of control that he should have been behind bars, not in a police uniform. But that much seemed clear after Shepard’s May 6 arrest in Sacramento.
She recounted a more recent incident when he attacked her in the shower, punching her in the leg so hard it caused her to fall and hit her head. She told police Shepard had pointed a gun at her several times. She also alleged that, after she became pregnant, Shepard had threatened to kill her unless she got an abortion.
Officers reported the victim had pictures on her phone that showed injuries she said Shepard had previously inflicted. During a search of Shepard’s work locker, they found syringes filled with unknown liquid along with opioid pills, which matched the victim’s allegations that Shepard had been injecting “testosterone” and using painkillers without a prescription.
