Newly released police video shows a bestselling author and wife of Weezer’s bassist armed with a handgun as she was confronted by Los Angeles Police Department officers searching her Eagle Rock neighborhood for a trio of hit-and-run suspects earlier this month.
“Put the gun down! Hey, put the gun down,” officers are heard saying in the bodycam video as they looked over a backyard fence and saw Jillian Lauren Shriner.
“Lay the gun down,” officers yelled repeatedly.
“Ma’am, put the gun down,” another officer shouted. “Ma’am, we’re trying to help you!”
Officers repeatedly identified themselves as police and told Shriner she could be shot if she does not put the gun down.
