Yee had a conversation with an undercover agent about an arms dealer he knew with contacts in russia and ukraine. Senator yee said, do i think we can make some money . I think we can make some money , do i think we can get the goods . I think we can get the goods. At one point he was grumbling about how unhappy he was with his life who he thought was a criminal but was an undercover agent. Quote, theres a part of me that wants to be like you. Just be a free agent out there. State senator leland yee is expected to walk out after paying a half Million Dollars bail. Lets take a look at the scene from chopper 5. You can see a gaggle reporters and photographers around the courthouse. There are several conditions of his relief including restricted travel. He has already surrendered his passport and, by the way, he is not allowed to possess firearms. Joe, youll be standing by to see when the senator walks out. Reporter we will. Thank you. As joe mentioned, federal agents fanned out all across the bay area as part of this investigation today. They spent all day at senator yees home in San Franciscos sunset district. Cameras were rolling as agents carried large boxes on what looked Like Computers out of his home. Aside from his house the fbi raided three other spots in San Francisco including a social club in chinatown. They also combed what is believed to be a marijuana grow house in nature is linked to the investigation. They also swarmed state senator yees office in sacramento. More now on the chinatown raid now. Agents targeted the offices of chee kung tong the group is a long time chinese freemason group. At one point during the raid, officials brought in the jaws of life to open the safe in the organizations headquarters. The club is headed by raymond chow a notorious chinatown gangster. He was one of the 25 named in the fbi affidavit. Now, chow, who is only 55, was given the nickname shrimp boy by his grandmother. His extensive rap sheet includes everything from extortion, Armed Robbery to attempted murder. More on his connection to the case and our interview with him coming up tonight at 6 30. Reporter his career spans more than 25 years. He worked his way up to San Francisco supervisor in 1996 then climbed up to the state level in 2003 getting elected to the assembly. He then moved up the ladder becoming a nature is more in 2006 and reelected in 2010. Yee has been campaigning for secretary of state. Heres the shocker. Ironically, senator yee has been a major advocate for gun control and in that role allen martin got to know him very well. We did a lot of interviews with him. Reporter back in 2012 we were investigating what gun control advocates call a huge loophole in californias assault weapons ban. It had to do with whats called the bullet button a device that gun manufacturers had designed in order to legally sell rifles such as the ar15s and the ak 47s in california. Our report prompted senator yee to introduce a bill that would have banned the bullet button. He took a lot of heat from the gun lobby because of it and opponents even put up billboards an bay area freeways, tshirts. But in an interview told us he was not going to be intimidated because he believed so strongly in keeping guns out of the hands of the bad guys. This is not a easy issue, but i feel very strong about it. Im a child psychologist by training. Im a father. Im an individual who really wants our communities to be safe. And god forbid if somehow one of these weapons fall into the wrong hands. Reporter yees bill eventually merged with other gun control bills and in the end Governor Brown vetoed all the legislation. Senator yee stayed in the gun lobbys crosshairs for more than a year because of the bill. You have to wondered how he managed to get around that and connect with International Arms dealers, allegedly, as that indictment alleges, again he has been charged not convicted. But the antigun control groups are pointing to the hypocracy of it all. Its crazy. The interview did you that, we did it around 2012, exactly when the feds say this was all going down when he was making connections with undercover agent to provide for the movement of automatic weapons and up until they allege january of this year. Unbelievable. Yeah. All right. Well see how it plays out, allen, thank you for that. In a town where politics is a bloodsport, the arrest of a highprofile state senator has everyone buzzing. Kpix 5 political analyst Melissa Griffincaen is live in San Francisco. Thank you for joining us. Yee was running for secretary of state. Thats pretty much over now, right . Reporter well, the election may be over but his campaign probably isnt. Remember, leland yee has been in office in one capacity or another since 1988. He is 65 years old. I doubt he will pack up his tent and go away. In fact, tomorrow the current secretary of state will be certifying the final list of candidates before sending thes to the printer the ballots to the printer. I dont think well see his campaign folding up. Interesting we spoke about this just a second ago the senator a very prolific supporter of gun control and yet now, he is being accused of taking part in illegal weapons activity. What do you make of this irony . Reporter its unbelievable its just one of a number of truly bizarre facts in this case. In fact, as the judge was reading the counts in the courtroom, we were all aghast at the exact counts involving arms. It would be like president obama being indicted for Healthcare Fraud or something. Its truly amazing. Its one of his signature projects as he has been in office. You read this indictment, it really does read like a bad hollywood movie. Its incredible. All right, Melissa Griffin caen, thank you. Well, more on the fbi raids and the arrest of senator yee coming up at 6 30. For minutetominute coverage, check out our website, kpix. Com. And new at 6 00 a new Police Substation cost san jose nearly 100 million. All thats missing are the hundreds of Police Officers to staff it. Kpix 5s len ramirez with why a substation has been sitting empty for years. Lenny, in a town where they need more Police Officers. Reporter it has been sitting empty. In fact, there was money put into the city budget to finally open this place but this is one of those rare cases where money is not the issue. The issue is not enough people to staff the building. Reporter when construction workers finished building san joses 92 million Police Substation in 2010, they handed the keys to the city but no one ever moved in. And its been mostly locked up ever since. To sit idle for three years has been a little bit rough. Reporter lieutenant Chris Monahan is in charge of the building designed to be a fully functioning Police Station to house about 300 officers. There is a grand lobby, mens and womens locker rooms, and showers. A big airy Briefing Room and a dispatch center thats never taken a call and wont for the foreseeable future. The department is officially stepping away from using the building for its original purpose because so many officers have left the department. With the loss of staffing over the last few years, the need to move that part of our Police Department out here is not in place and until we regrow into that kind of population of numbers, this building is just not going to fit into the big grand scheme of things. The taxpayers spent 92 million to build this thing. And we dont have anyone to put in it. Reporter at the police union hall, the situation was blamed on the citys pension cuts which have caused officers to leave the city or retire early reducing the number of available officers from about 1400 in 2008 to fewer than 1,000 now. It goes back to the retention and the recruitment issues created by measure b. Until thats fixed that building will remain empty. Reporter not exactly. The Department Says the substation will be partially used for training officers going through the academy. It will not use all the space but it will get the building into a capacity that makes it operational. Reporter having the building be operational is important, you have to have water and electricity flowing but all of that is cost the city about 10,000 a month in electricity bills alone so having people move in here and finally getting some use out of the building is going to benefit of city of san jose. Live in san jose, len ramirez, kpix 5. Hows this for irony . Vandals recently broke into the new substation and caused minor damage. Rain has returned to the bay area. Drivers got a wet start to this wednesday and this isnt the end of t paul deanno is here with where the rain is now and how much we received so far. Paul .

We had 65 firearms seized at tsa screening checkpoints. 54 of those firearms were loaded and 17 had a round in the chamber. So those are situations where you really doesnt want to have to call the police and wait. The Associated Press has reported that the two armed officers at l. A. X. Last fall had left.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District may have to stop taking water from the San Luis Reservoir for the first time in history. The usually massive reservoir east of gilroy is almost at a record low because of the drought. That means pumps could soon be exposed and unable to pull water from the lake. So to prepare for that possibility, we have been moving water pumping water from San Luis Reservoir into Anderson Reservoir one of our largest local reservoirs so it will be available locally for use in the summer. The district says that the San Luis Reservoir intake pump could be dry within the next three months. Never fails. Snow is falling in the sierra and that means slow going for drivers. Sean bennett has what travelers need to know. Reporter what a difference a few days makes. A couple of days ago, no chain control in effect.

Story up here today, gusty winds southwest 15 to 25 miles an hour gusting to 45 miles per hour. We saw those strong winds at Donner Summit and the temperature very cold 20 degrees. Heres what truckers thought driving up and over the summit today. Kind of crazy being almost april, you know . Its not good, slippery. Your hands freeze, your feet get cold. So it just takes a lot of your time away. 60 degrees we left the truck stop and get up here 25 degrees get out in freezing weather chain up. Its crazy up here.

Basically this storm is due west of roseville. Northeast of sacramento. A Tornado Warning is in effect for this general area for the next 45 minutes all the way until 7 00. Tornado warning just north of sacramento the storm is not heading toward us but its noteworthy that we have a storm this strong close to the bay area. This is video just in to kpix 5.

The blocking ridge of High Pressure nowhere to be seen, big area of lower pressure now to our north. And that is going to be stubborn and that will the know move for the next week so what that means for you and me .

But when tim jones first began teaching, he was shocked by how little is actually supplied by the school district. The one box of paper he is given each quarter only lasts about two weeks. I was probably spending maybe 700 a month to get paper, pencils reporter a month . I would have no paycheck sometimes. Reporter but all thats changed thanks to an Organization Called donorschoose.

Official charges against him including six counts of attempting to defraud citizens of Honest Services and conspiracy to traffic in and illegally import firearms. If convicted on all counts, yee could get 125 years in federal prison. Also accused in todays indictment notorious chinatown gangster raymond shrimp boy chow. He has been arrested for numerous crimes over the years but just a few years ago, he insisted he was going stra rm for gun chow gave kpix exclusive interview where he claimed he was goi straight. Something the co. Raymond linda yee reports. Reporter raymond shrimp boy ciao is a notorious chinatown gangster who terrorized his Community Back in 1970. He said in an exclusive interview to us eight years ago that he was giving up his life of crime and going straight. But that is something the cops never believed. Raymond chow claimed he was going legit. But San Francisco police and the fbi had him under surveillance. They suspected chow was behind the still unsolved 2006 murder of chinatown businessman allen leung. Chow told kpix 5 then he was innocent. Do you know who killed allen leung . No. Reporter did you order it . No. Reporter the year before he was gunned down, leung told the fbi he feared for his life after his tong a social club that helps merchants and immigrants turned down raymonds demand for 120,000. Leungs funeral was one of the biggest in chinatown history. He was the head of two tongs and chow boldly stood out wearing white. There are some who say he dressed in white to stand out in the crowd and to say see, im a big shot here. What they know about our culture and tradition . Reporter he admitted collecting protection money from illegal mah jong charges. He and his associates were convicted of many charges. He revels in his notoriety. Soon after leung was buried chow was named the new dragon head of the chee kung tong. Facebook pages show numerous photos of him sitting in emperorlike poses. Sources say this is where he continued to operate his Crime Syndicate using new gang members he recruited but chow inches requested political leaders he was changing, especially by speaking to kids. In the past several years, assemblyman tom ammiano, fiona ma and San Francisco mayor ed lee honored him with proclamations for his service to the community. And just last friday night, chow was honored at his tongs annual dinner. He was again at the place of honor sitting in the center. Merchants here in chinatown who know chow reluctant to talk about him. They all refused to say anything because of fear of reprisal. My colleague da lin spent the day here in china. Were they shocked to hear about these arrest . That was the word shocked. Leland yee is a very well regarded and very well respected politician in the Chinese Community. With the fbi raid a lot of folks wondering how will this affect the image of Chinese Americans . I was pretty shocked. Reporter not just shocked but also saddened by the arrest. Just a few weeks ago, Chinese Community leader carl chan worked with state senator leland yee on a bill related to affirmative action. He has known yee for many years. He says the politician is pretty straightforward. Whether he agree with us or northern there are times he would tell you what he would do or what he will vote for which we love to know. Its an honor. Reporter while many of yees allies are distancing themselves from the senator, chan continues to support him. I above to see that his name will be cleared and i would love to see that his name will be cleared and hopefully he didnt do anything wrong. Reporter with a corruption conviction, a former San Francisco supervisor, ed jew chan and other Community Leaders worry the latest arrest will hurt the image of Chinese Americans, especially those seeking office. Too little asianamericans politicians as it is and this was probably hopefully will not make a stereotype of our asian people and how corrupted they are. We have ed jew and now leland yee and then i dont know how the people kind of see the chinese politicians. Reporter chan knows leland yee is facing some serious charges but says people should at least keep an open mind. You are innocent until proven guilty. And at this point, we are all wanting to find out whats happening. Reporter if leland yee is found to be guilty, carl chan says its going to be tough news for his family and his wife. That family apparently has been very involved in the chinese american community. For now, live in San Franciscos chinatown, im da lin, kpix 5. Leland yees arrest has sent shockwaves through San Francisco and sacramento. The head of the state senate didnt mince words when discussing yees legal troubles. No, he didnt. Lets roll that clip of Darrell Steinberg and what he had to say in reaction to the indictments. And yet this indictment is sickening. As such, consistent with the actions we have taken in other situations, i want to on behalf of my colleagues today call on senator yee to resign. Reporter whether the senator is going to do that remains to be seen. After all, if you are in a situation like this a lot of times you try to hold out as many chits as you can plus he is guaranteed a paycheck no matter what the state Senate President says or does. Lets put this in perspective. What we have here is yet another state senator politician basically taking money and saying, i will do something for you. He is not the first. Ron calderon from los angeles was just indicted by the fbi on a similar sting where they floated a fake bill through the legislature and he took money for himself and his family in return for favors. He lied about where he lived. Thats a more common sort of crime. Sure. What makes this so unique are two things. One is the fact that the association with something far more sinister. Although yee is accused of taking money in order to further the interests of this group, there are also he is supposedly caught on tape or with informants talking about doing things like running guns, even murderforhire, narcotics, that sort of thing. Whether he did it or not remains to be seen and the indictments dont get very clear on what the actions were. But the fact that he was hanging with this group and that he was doing this is bad. And lets take it a step further before we just hang leland out to dry, because theres other politicians in San Francisco that signed those proclamations that put out those on this association as well that sort of semi legitimized it and sort of paved the way for some of this to happen. Sure. And the democrats in the house stand to lose their supermajority in california if these three guys go down. Reporter they have already lost them. Two have had to take paid leaves of absence. If leland yee does that as well they have lost it. Its also a dark mark on the entire party because they are in control. But it is politics, im afraid to say, and in america these days, as usual, sometimes got to get elect, you have to have money to get elected. And you want to stay there. And the other thing, you think you can do it. Get away with it. All right. Well see. Thank you, phil. Our coverage of the Corruption Scandal continues on kpix. Com.

Trying to recover every person could be impractical and very dangerous for the rescuers. Some areas are covered with 40 feet of quicksandlike mud. Despite the risks, rescuers are not giving up. If theres a slight possibility of somebody being alive in an air pocket or wherever, it may sound totally crazy to people, but if we could find one viable person, we can bring closure to a family, thats why we keep dig,ing and searching. As the death toll climbs there are questions about how much was done to keep the area safe. County officials are coming under criticism for allowing new Home Construction on parts of that disaster site despite a 2006 landslide in the area.

Its going to continue over the next couple of days. No organized wave of low pressure moving through just a lot of moisture piling in. So scattered showers will continue despite the fact that the next round of widespread rainfall will not get here until saturday. When it does, its going to pour once again like it did this morning. We are tapping into subtropical moisture. Throughout the day on saturday well all get soaking rainfall and an additional half to inch of rain. Between now and then scattered showers continue. You can see it on futurecast. 11 00 tonight well have some stuff on the radar. Tomorrow morning as you drive again to work for your thursday scattered showers continue. So keep the umbrella handy even though it wont be raining all the time. Showers continue tonight and that mixed bag of a weekend very soggy on saturday. But i know you want to get outside with you family. Sunday the better choice with highs in the mid60s and dry weather. For tomorrow, mid60s, it will feel chilly but back down to normal. Mountain view 65 scattered showers. Scattered showers for you in pittsburg 63. And in San Francisco tomorrow a high of 62 degrees a mixture of sunshine and showers. Same story on friday.

We have an update on the leland yee arrest. Want to get to joe vazquez outside the federal courthouse in San Francisco. He has the latest. Joe. Reporter ken, long day for the state senator and let me show you the video. He just walked out of the courthouse. This after a hearing today where he learned he is facing several federal charges among them weapons charges as well as breach of public trust, essentially a bribery charge but not called bribery. Its a federal corruption charge. He is not saying anything to reporters. His attorney is right now speaking outside the courthouse but he is also saying no comment. It was a more than 130page document they are telling us. They want to look through it. They want to be able to respond at some point but they are not saying it now. But really shocking to see, guys, as state senator leland yee who has represented this community for some 25 years who has never been shy about talking to the media, he is not saying a word as he faces some very real possibility of prison time. Heres a guy who is a well known state senator well known in the area and in San Francisco been a political figure for decades suffers the indignity of sitting in court today with shackles . They actually had him chained up today . Right. He had shackles on his legs. I mean, not just that, there he is having to face a judge who is reading him his rights who is laying out this absolutely intricate case this federal case that involves not just the charges he faces of corruption and weapons but theres also some folks facing drug charges, selling drugs, as well as theres another guy who is in there for a murderforhire plot and its all connected. Were talking about some two dozen defendants at the end of the day and there he is among them including one of these guys who is one of the most notorious gangsters ever to walk the streets of San Francisco sitting right near here.
