State senator leland yee, Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow, a notorious former chinatown gang leader, and Keith Jackson yees political consultant. We have Team Coverage of this scandal. Kpix 5 reporter anne makovec is in the newsroom. And cate caugiran has details from the San Francisco home where yee is holed up. Cate.

And right now, its all quiet here on 24th avenue in San Franciscos sunset district something that the senator wont get much of in the next coming days. Senator, senator reporter state senator leland yee left the courthouse last night with no comment, one of the bay areas highest ranking politicians now finding himself facing public corruption charges as well as crimes related to selling weapons. His Attorney Says his client will plead not guilty. Does he say that he is innocent . Well always as in every case enter not guilty pleas and then the case takes on a life of its own be discovery being provided, motions, and then sometimes a case ending up in trial. Reporter beginning early yesterday morning the fbi conducted a series of raids across Northern California eventually arresting more than two dozen people with crimes ranging from selling drugs and weapons to murderforhire. The feds say yee discussed the possibility of acquiring weapons including shoulder fired missiles from the philippines in exchange for campaign contributions. He is also accused of offering to pass medical marijuana legislation again in exchange for campaign donations. The feds accuse him of accepting 10,000 in exchange for the senators support of a contract for healthcare related business. Yee is even accused of selling state proclamation for cash. Court documents detail many of yees conversations with undercover agents including one where yee said he knew an arms dealer with contacts in russia and ukraine.

Agents wheeled away box after box from his office at the state capital yesterday. You can see they confiscated a lot of boxes. And in san mateo, fbi and irs agents left this suspected marijuana grow house with a haul, removing several boxes, as well. We saw these high capacity light fixtures typical of grow houses in the garage. Perhaps the most intriguing character in all of this is a man known as shrimp boy. Raymond chow has a long criminal past that includes murderforhire, Drug Trafficking, arson and racketeering. He has been on the fbis radar now for a very long time. Anne makovec continues our Team Coverage now with more on chows previous brushes with the law. Anne. Reporter it was the fbis investigation into chow otherwise known as shrimp boy that led to the charges against leland yee. An undercover agent infiltrated shrimp Boys Organization and found that the man with the criminal rap sheet dating back to the 70s had some unlikely powerful connections. Raymond shrimp boy chow always revelled in his notoriety admitting to our linda yee eight years ago he was a violent criminal. I have hurt people a lot, but those people, i believe, they deserve it. Reporter he also showed off the ankle bracelet the feds forced him to wear after he got out of prison on gun running charges. He was angry he had to report to immigration weekly and that they could track his movements. Everything raymond chow do is wrong. Everything he didnt do we going to put it on him anyway. Reporter the feds say shrimp boy asked an undercover agent to see if senator yee could help get that ankle monitor removed. For years, shrimp boy has insisted he has gone legit. Now he is the leader of the chee kung tong chinatown social club and hangs out with political leaders like Lieutenant Governor gavin new some of the last august he was with senator yee at a restaurant ribboncutting. He brags about his good deeds and how he has been recognized with proclamations both assemblyman tom ammiano, mayor lee and senator yee. But the undercover fbi agents who infiltrated his alleged Crime Syndicate say in reality shrimp boy was laundering money, selling stolen arms and contraband cigarettes. And San FranciscoPolice Believe shrimp boy was behind the still unsolved murder of businessman allen leung the former tong leader whom shrimp boy replaced as leader of the tong. Chow is still in jail this morning not allowed bail because the feds consider him a flight risk. Live in the newsroom, anne makovec, kpix 5.

A 92 million substation has been sitting empty for four years. Kpix 5 reporter kiet do on what San Jose Police finally plan to do with it and why it sat unused for so long. Kiet. Reporter good morning. Back in 2008, they had the people, just not the money. No, sir now thats flipped upsidedown, they have the money, not the officers. This brandnew Police Substation has room for 300 new officers. The 92 Million Building has a grand lobby, lockers, Briefing Room and its own dispatch center but after sitting empty for four years, the city is officially stepping away from using it as a substation and instead will partially use it for Training Police cadets. Since 2008, more than 400 officers have left the department. The Police Union Blames it on pension cuts. 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. It goes back to the retention and recruitment issues were dealing with which again goes back to the second tier pension created by measure b. Until thats fixed, that building is going to remain empty. Reporter san jose now has fewer than 1,000 officers. The same number of cops it had 20 years ago. By the way, they are hiring. The city spends about 10,000 a month on maintenance and upkeep. Thats just to keep the building running and so since they are spending that money, they figure might as well get some use out of it. Live in south san jose, kiet do, kpix 5. The substation was recently broken into and damaged by vandals. 6 09. The bay area is rocked by political scandal.

A private School Education can be expensive and a lot of families cant afford it but a special program at a San Francisco high school is giving students that opportunity through hard work. Immaculate Conception Academy is this weeks cool school. Reporter students at immaculate Conception Academy in San Francisco know all about hard work. From freshman to seniors, each student works full time once a week at a local company or nonprofit. After it i felt really like i dont want to mess up. I dont want to mess up. But then after you start getting like confidence out of it and you feel important like part of the community. Reporter from school, they head to work by bart, bus or in treasure butlers case shuttle. Wells fargo sponsors treasures job at a nonprofit. She answers phones, schedules appointments, makes copies and anything else the office needs. Very specialized time because you have a lot of school work on top of work so you have to, like, find a way to manage your time. Reporter the paycheck goes towards the schools budget. In turn, lowering the cost of tuition. When the program started five years ago, tuition cost 10,000 a student. Now its just under 3,000 thanks to the companies employing them. They are more of a community stakeholder, we call all our sponsors coeducators because they are the teachers in the real world so we have a history teacher but we also have the job teacher. Reporter the young women here are getting real world experience and a jumpstart on their future. I always knew this example, like when youre applying for a job someone can see that in high school, you worked at mcdonalds and then they look an ica student and they see a law firm, a hospital, a nonprofit. These girls are really smart. They are getting a lot of experience at that school. But the student population is growing so that means they need more jobs so they are hoping that more companies will step up. I think they need 10 more jobs next year but its fully employed. All the kids from freshmen to seniors take part. Theyre all employed. Great idea. And they find out what they dont want to do, too. What they want to do and what they dont want to do so thats good. Great experience at such a young age. So what is cool about your school . We want to know. Email your nomination to us at coolschools kpix. Com. We may come and feature your school on the show.
