Saul Barnard is a Ranger for the San Andreas State Park Rangers. Saul's Ranger badge number is #255. Saul Barnard often treads the line between legal and illegal activities. Notably, Saul has an addiction to the medication Oxycontin. Saul harbors hatred for any non-law enforcement officers, often berating civilians and DOJ employees.

## Early Career

Saul Barnard joined the police force as a BCSO Cadet. He was FTO'd by Robert Ducky and Rusty Pitt. One time, he rode along with Doyle Clementine, who taught him how to abuse his power as an officer. At one point, they rescued an hostage from the Route 68 bank only to follow them to Grapeseed and pull them over. Both officers approached the driver in a hostile demeanor, Doyle asks why the driver's taillight is out, when it isn't. Cadet Saul Barnard goes to the back of the car, and smashes the taillight. The driver gets let go, and is pulled over at Sandy Shores immediately afterwards. He is harassed more, but Saul Barnard restrains himself the second time.

Robert Ducky was FTO'ing Saul Barnard during a night shift, when a distressed 911 call at Alta from an individual being assaulted came in. The two officers responded, when a firefight ensued. Kai Deez and Anya Neeze gun down both Robert Ducky and Saul Barnard with class 2 weaponry. This would be the first time Saul Barnard was shot in the line of duty.

## Solo Cadet

After getting all his cadet check marks, Robert Ducky promotes Saul Barnard to Solo Cadet. Saul immediately uses this newfound freedom to abuse more innocent civilians. Saul comes into contact with Huss Johnson and Ritz Spaghetti at Burgershot. Saul approaches Huss about a $50,000+ loan for a personal CVPI. They all disperse, and Saul Barnard meets them again at Alta. This time, Saul pulls over Ritz Spaghetti to harass him. Saul busts Ritz's taillight, and leaves. They all convene once again near the Jewellery Store in Huss' car shop. Saul continually searches Ritz multiple times. They disperse, and Ritz's taillight is once again busted outside of the car shop. A few hours later, Saul is called into the MRPD lobby by Sheriff James Jaminson. An agitated Ritz Spaghetti alleges that Saul had taken his prized wedding ring from his possession during these searches. Ritz to this day believes that Saul had stolen his ring and has not forgiven him.

During a quiet patrol, Saul Barnard responds to a call of a blatant drug dealer near the Vault in Vinewood. Without having proof, Saul accuses a man near the drug sales calls of having distributed drugs. Knowing that he cannot convict the suspect, Saul continually pushes the suspect until he is convinced. At this point, Saul asks the man for a $500 bribe in order to let him go. The suspect does so, and Saul goes to Burgershot to spend his dirty drug money.

## Lawsuit

Saul Barnard arrests Timmy Horton following Timmy crashing his stolen vehicle attempting to flee from Saul. Timmy Horton is taken to MRPD for booking. Saul and Timmy Horton are alone once Timmy Horton gets onto his phone to call his friend that accompanied him in the pursuit. Saul takes out his taser, and threatens to tase Timmy if he doesn't put down the phone. Timmy does not comply, and is tased by Saul. Upon entering the cell to cuff Timmy, Saul threatens to beat Horton even more. Timmy Horton calls for a lawyer, and LSPD Officer Edward Sharpe and Saul attempt to devise a story to explain to Sweets Landry (the lawyer) to explain Saul's actions.

A few days later, Saul is served a subpoena to appear in court for the events that transpired prior. The court decides that Saul did infact assault Timmy Horton and Timmy is granted $8,000 in a settlement.

To this day Saul cannot escape the legacy left by "losing" this lawsuit. Constantly being berated by fellow officers and recognized as the guy that tased someone innocent on the streets. Notably, Titus Royal informs every suspect at a bank robbery that involves Saul of his prior actions.

## Hassan Bashari

Saul Barnard shot at La Fuente Blanca

Saul Barnard first comes into contact with Hassan Bashari and his gang when responding to the aftermath of a gone-wrong bank robbery at La Fuente Blanca. 6+ officers had gone down when Saul Barnard and Sam Woods show up. Sam Woods gets flanked and shot, and the gunfire goes quiet. Thinking the coast is clear, Saul puts Sam in the cruiser, and attempts to extract the downed officers. Completely unaware, Saul gets flanked by 4 people and is gunned down on the spot.

A few days later, Saul would attach to a chase following a jewellery store robbery with Raj Patel. Hassan Bashari would drive into the train tunnels near Alta apts, he makes a u-turn into the tunnel that Saul is coming from and crashes head-on into Saul's cruiser. Hassan exits the car and attempts to run, holstering his weapon in the process. Raj Patel fires upon Hassan Bashari, despite him being unarmed at this time. Saul gets onto the maintenance tunnel platform and shoots Hassan in the head. In order to cover their flagrant abuse of power, Saul claims that Hassan had "reached" for his weapon and they both fired upon them in fear of their lives.

Hassan Bashari's charges

Following the shooting and arrest of Hassan, Hassan sits inside a cell at MRPD waiting to be booked by Saul Barnard. Hassan continually claims he was shot unlawfully and calls for a lawyer. Saul believes his time was wasted and because of Hassan's demeanor he decides to stack an absurd amount of charges on Hassan Bashari. In exchange for time served, Saul asks Hassan for compliments. Hassan refuses, and Saul sentences Hassan Bashari to 158 months in prison with a $11,350 fine.

The next day on patrol, Deputy Larry Price, nicknamed "Santa" calls Saul (who is riding with Titus Royal) to the Noodle Palace for an in-person meet. Upon arriving, Santa is standing infront of Hassan Bashari. Hassan points his gun towards Saul and Titus, when Saul reverses the cruiser into the wall. Hassan shoots Saul and Titus. Fortunately, Deputies Barnee Brown (Kangaroo) and Robert Ducky are a block away and respond to the shots. Hassan Bashari is shot and incapacitated. Hassan is later booked for 70 months.

Later that night, Hassan is released from prison and meets with multiple gangs from across Los Santos. The city plunges into chaos as the police department goes on Code Red. While sitting at an intersection infront of Alta apts, a black Cadillac blocks the cruiser of Tony Bassett and Saul, and opens fired into the windshield with class 2 weapons. Tony reverses the car, and crashes it into the subway terminal. Saul exits the vehicle and flees into the adjacent tunnel, where he is shot. At the conclusion of this firefight, Saul discovers that he is missing a testicle, shot off during the firefight.
