It was not immediately clear what prompted the raid, but the Chronicle reported that at around 2 a.m. on Friday a man was shot multiple times outside of the home. Petrov told Chronicle reporters he knew nothing of the shooting.
Around 6 p.m. on Friday, ABC 7 reporters on-site at the home saw federal agents raiding the home where Petrov had reportedly been staying. The agents entered and cuffed both Petrov and an unidentified female, taking them into the house.

Petrov was the auto theft suspect who was beaten by two Alameda County sheriff’s deputies in November after leading police on a high-speed chase across the Bay Bridge. The beating was captured by a nearby surveillance camera and released by the Public Defender’s Office, which called for deputies to be charged after a homeless couple alleged that they had been bribed with goods stolen from Petrov by the deputies.
Three deputies have been suspended by the sheriff’s department, which launched an investigation into the allegations. A civil lawsuit brought by Petrov is pending, and the Jeff Adachi, the Public Defender, called on the District Attorney to bring a criminal suit against the deputies as well.
