The security guard who fatally shot Banko Brown, a transgender man who was suspected of shoplifting from a San Francisco Walgreens in April, must pay $1,500 in fines for code violations, says the agency that regulates security services in California.
Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony is being fined for carrying a concealed firearm and for uniform violations, according to a citation order from California's Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.
The notice, issued by Deputy Chief Samuel Stodolski, says Anthony did not have a concealed weapons permit at the time of the shooting but was carrying a gun in a zippered pouch on the tactical vest he was wearing on April 27.
The citation order says Anthony was wearing a sweatshirt without "bureau-approved patches on each shoulder," which should have said "private security" and the name of his employer, when he was on duty at a downtown Walgreens.
"(That) may be the reason (Brown) was trying to get away or resist as much as he can," Brown family lawyer John Burris said during a phone call to CNN on Friday. "Nowhere did he (Anthony) say that 'I'm a security guard.'"
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins declined to file criminal charges against Anthony, saying he acted in self-defense. In May, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said his office would investigate that decision.
According to a report released in May, the security guard told investigators Brown repeatedly threatened to stab him.
Surveillance camera video also released in May shows the moment when Anthony attempts to stop Brown from leaving the store before Brown shoves him. A physical altercation ensues, the footage shows, where Anthony holds Brown on the ground and then releases him after about a minute. Brown begins to leave before turning around and moving toward Anthony, who shoots him.
Anthony must pay the $1,500 total for three fines within 30 days of the citation, which was issued on Monday, or he could face "disciplinary action" by the bureau. He can contest the decision with the disciplinary review committee, the citation order says.
Anthony has not responded to requests for comment from CNN.
The security company that employed Anthony, Kingdom Group Protective Services, also faces a $5,000 fine from the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services for failing to submit an incident report within seven days of the shooting, as well as failing to "maintain an accurate and current record of the proof of completion of the trainings" for Anthony.
The security company was also given 30 days from the citation date, July 13, to pay its fine. The company has not returned CNN's request for comment.
