could be getting his job back after prevailing in arbitration.
Rains, who has represented two other officers fired by Williams -- and prevailed -- said the reinstatement of Tonn was the right decision. Rains said Sunday that Tonn applied a reasonable and lawful use of force in the Monterrosa case, and that Williams was wrong to terminate him. Burris' office is no longer representing the case and the family is now represented by new counsel, John Coyle, with a jury trial scheduled for January 2025, according to court records.
When asked if he was confident that Bonta would file charges against Tonn, Burris chuckled and said that he would wait and see. Tonn had previously shot three people over five years in Vallejo while on duty, none of which were found to have had firearms, a tenth of the 32 total shootings by the department in one decade, according to attorney Ben Nisenbaum.
Williams resigned abruptly last November. Williams was repeatedly criticized by the Vallejo Police Officers' Association, the offices' union, which had previously voted"no confidence" in him and blamed him for everything from attrition to high crime in the city. But advocates for the families of those killed by police said Williams had been making progress in cleaning up a department that had gained international attention for being violent.
