Assemblyman Van Tran (pictured) was so disruptive at the scene of the Andy Quach car crash investigation, the police had to threaten to arrest him to make him step back, the OC Register’s Deepa Bharath reported here.
That disturbing fact came from transcript of audio tapes from the scene, revealed by Westminster Police Chief Andrew Hall in his interview with Bharath.
The transcript showed that Tran came and claimed to be Quach’s lawyer. The police asked him to step back, so he complied.
But only briefly. A bit later, he stepped in again and a sergeant had to tell him one more time to stand back.
So he did. But then two minutes later, when a DUI expert was administering the field sobriety test to Quach, Tran distracted Quach and disrupted the field sobriety test.
The sergeant told Tran: “Sir, I’ve asked you to back up over there.”
“I’m his lawyer,” Tran told the officer.
“I don’t care who you are, you need to back up over there,” the sergeant told Tran. “I understand you’re his attorney but you are interfering. You need to stand over there. If you come back over here, I’m going to have you arrested.”
So Tran finally complied and did not interfere again.
Chief Hall confirmed that, contrary to rumors running rampant in Little Saigon, the assemblyman was not in Quach’s car at the time of the accident.
Van Tran in a written statement said that he was there because “my friend was involved in a very serious accident.”
“In attempting to get more information, the on-duty officer asked me to step back,” Tran wrote. “With respect, I disagree with the claim that my attempting to talk with the sergeant and asking him a simple question was ‘interfering’ in any way.”
I am so mad at the VN communist infiltrators for concocting and executing this calamity, scaring the possible future political careers of two stellar and rising star Viet Americans. When is VT rounding up the “troop” to ferret out these schemers and bring them to justice? Can we meet at West Coast Buffet for a quick drink before the mission?
Don’t worry, we all can share a taxi on our mission…
VT did the right to disrupt the investigation as counsel. However, as a friend of friends with AQ, he should have done more to protect his protoge. Where and what were AQ’s “friends” doing before AQ took the wheel? Did they not see that he was not fit to drive?
Friends like that, I would rather face the entire Democratic party single-handedly.
Let’s all gather up at the accident site for a protest this weekend. We need to protest against the Westminster PD for supporting the commies and not covering up for our dear leaders councilman AQ. We need to protest against the WPD for interrupting VT while he was interfering with their investigation.
This is outrageous!
Doesn’t an accused have the right to have his attorney present during questioning. Tran did the right thing by not getting arrested but I wonder if there was an abuse of power here.
not so fast;
What a bull, he has he right to be present during questioning but ain’t got no right to disrupt a field sobriety test…Or maybe he was drunk out of his collective mind and come to his sense when the good tell him he ass will be booked if he keep on interfering…
My take: AT is sitting in the car with the great AQ, he may be stroking…uh…AQ’s ego prior to the crash.
Tran has never been Andy’s lawyer. Look at his record. Every time Andy gets a ticket he has the same lawyer – the same dude that bailed him out this time. And it has NEVER been Tran.
Tran perjured himself.

Question: Did VT ask the three occupants in the car that AQ hit to say that they were not injured that night?
I heard now they claim that they are hurt and are receiving treatment for their injuries.
Anti-comi: good sense of humor!
the chronology does not seem to be right based on knowledge and experience of any people of the security forces. The police report has to be published fully for the clarity.
Van Tran found out what a nothing he is. Good riddance to these bums. I guess Jung Kim is in mourning over the loss of face for his boys. Try and justify this Jung. Where’s your idiotic comments?
lottahope,
Keep on hoping, even against hope.
Working as a private attorney may be in conflict with duty of a paid elected official. Besides, putting himself in a position risky of being arrested, Assemblyman Van Tran has created an appearance of impropriety.
Hey lottapoop, still stuck on the “see food diet”? At least Assemblyman Van Tran is honorable enough to help out his fellow viet friend in the middle of the night!
We all wish we had a friend like him.
Tien, where have you been?
Many elected officials hold part/full time work.
Jung, funny you should point out his loyalty to a friend. I have pointed that out to people. I do give hom credit for standing by his friend. All real gangsters do stand by their own. The revealing thing is all these Trannie adult juvenile delinquents…have no substance. Has Van Trab ever done anything of worth, other than take advantage of the Viet desire for representation. Van and all these others really feel like they are big shots and take advantage of it. Bottom line is….we all want people in elected office who have high moral values and will keep our city safe and the riff raff out. Problem is Andy Quach and Andrew Do already have shown they ar not moral. Noone can say their mentors hold no responsibility. Let Janet and Van try to move up the political ladder. Let’s see what happens. When all is said and done Van will pay huge for this Quach accident and his ego revealing involvement
Andy drinking a whiskey bottle? $75
Andy trashing his Mercedes? $70,000
Andy in handcuffs? ROFL… Priceless
Andy’s BAC 0.26 ( …I must have nodded off…): Dumb
Andy’s lawyer, Van Tran ( I’m with Andy…I’m his lawyer): Dumber.
i swear this is so damn funny! what a bunch of arrogant losers are “leading” the viet community. the crazy thing is no matter what these communist filth do they keep getting re-elected. if it was up to van tran i’m sure all of this would go away without anybody knowing about it but as it turns out his “boy” got good and fuc*** up and was too stupid to call a cab or had somebody drive him home but no, he had to slam into a car then a telephone pole. he could have so easily killed those three occupants of that other car. this loser has no business being a councilman anywhere and should step down right now. what kind of example is it when a guy who is an elected official drives around town so intoxicated he cant even stay awake? and as for van tran, business as usual. what a disgrace he is as well but we already knew that.
the red baiters got sued : Dumberer
So funny, all of this…
Lottapoop, again, you are upset over one person coming to asist another…in a huge auto accident.
If your family member or a friend would call you late night …after a similar accident situation, what would you do?
You anti viet jose licka solorio butt, go do what you do best….licking cholo’s rear
jung kim, like i have told you before ive never voted for solorio so licking his butt is out of the question but i do find it amusing you are so fixated on his butt…..”butt hey”, i dont remember solorio or his butt ever getting falling down drunk and hitting a lightpost have you? and remember a few weeks ago you were going on and on about loretta sanchez being a drunk “typical latina”? funny thing is i cant recall sanchez ever getting drunk in her “typical latina” way and slamming into a light post have you? hmmm.. and by the way, that very night i went to a friends 40th b-day party and i knew i was going to be drinking and playing music with my friends who are also musicians and a week before i asked my friend gary if he would be our designated driver and he agreed. so you see even this “cholo” as you call me was more responsible that your communist drunk driving elected official. i actually took the time to make sure that somebody was driving me so that i dont pose a threat to other drivers and our community. thats probably why i have never had a dui too bad the quach wasnt that responsible.
jose licka solorio, butt…..were you with Loretta Sanchez in 5 star hotel room ? If not… keep your cholo mouth shut. You are cluless anti viet idiot!
Wow! we should be honor to finding one little cholo without a dui ticket! You must feel like you have won the jack pot idiot!
Now let’s get them Nguoi Viet protestors to protest Westminter Police Dept! Yeah!! WE can’t ake this anymore, first Westminster Police sided with Nguoi Viet and now they arrested our beloved councilman Andy and accused our beloved Assemblyman Van Tran of disrupting police work. People, enuff is enuff!!!!!
They can protest in front of Andrew Do’s unsanitary food joint.. joint?
in a 5 star hotel room with loretta? i’d be happy in a seedy motel room with her on harbor she is quite the hen but no, i wasnt. but never having a dui to my credit is just being responsible thats all. too bad little andy isnt as responsible as a beaner like me. once again it just proves that the viet elected officials in oc are just useless. i wonder why that is???
Because… they are under huge pressure to feed all the beaners like for FREE with limited resources. Can you imagine if you would have to support and feed 9 children?
funny you should mention 9 kids jung kim my dad raised 9 kids and was never once on welfare and never took assistance from the government to feed his family. he busted his ass at a union job to make sure we were taken care of. now by your way of thinking andy “the drunk” quach is under so much pressure to feed us beaners he has to get falling down drunk and then get behind the wheel of a car? wow. well you just said it yourself jung kim, it looks like andy cant handle the heat of his job and has to drink and put people at risk because of his stupidity. and the pressures of the job. i guess he’s weak. why is that do you think?
VT and AQ’s political careers are over.
What is AQ going to do for a living when he’s voted off the Council? The turtle face is uneducated and got no real skills. He won’t have anymore power to continue his criminal, fraudulent businesses.
Saigon-liar
AD and JN families might be swaping their spouses soon.
jose.s. your dad should have asked for some food stamps!
Look at your sorry rear…malnutrition caused underdevelopment of your brain. Physical growth has stopped at your tongue tip….go lick!
Saigoner,
I don’t know about VT, but AQ will re-enlist and ask to be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Watch out Talibans ! here come a Vietnamese-American kamikaze, coming at you in a bombs-loaded Mercedes.
Don’t worry my VA fellows.
As long as Bolsa The Great still with AQ. then everything should be OK.
Is this the same Westminster PD that had one of its boys run over Bui Tan Hoang with a police cruiser and killed him, ending up with the city paying a million dollar claim? Yeah. Your tax money at work, Jose s. and lottahope.
But Jose s. and lottahope (or is it just plain stinking lotta s~~t?– smell like it
are on welfare leeeching of honest workers.
remember, i know it must be hard when your hero falls but he fell and he fell hard and not only shamed his family but shamed his race. he has shown everybody except himself of course that he isnt fit to hold office. sorry but thats the truth of it. there is no police conspiracy at work here trying to frame him he framed himself because he’s a drunk idiot. and like my father before me i have never in my life been on welfare. nice try.
Is it my fault Van Tran showed his true self…just a street punk. A Quach is just a moral degenerate. Andrew Do is the worse but close enough to be clumped with the Trannies….another Viet bully…you know a wannabe big fish in a dirty pond.
jose s. licka solorio butt, being on welfare is not a crime……. but illegal tagging is. you dumb cholo idiot! We invented paper for writing purpose.
lottapoop. and you are a floating worm in the toilet water.
tuanPhucNguyen; ARE YOU KIDDING ME? IT’S PEOPLE LIKE YOU F@#KING IDIOTS THAT DIVIDED THIS COMMUNITY AND KEEP US FROM MOVING FORWARD AND INTEGRATING INTO THE MAINSTREAM OF AMERICA. WE LOST OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE OF DIRTY POLITICIANS LIKE THESE THUGS (THE TRANNIES)!!! YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO LIVE UNDER COMMUNIST REGIME? GO BACK TO VIETNAM, YOU IDIOT!!! VIETNAMESE ACROSS THIS NATION IS SO GLAD TO SEE THE WESTMINSTER POLICE DEPARTMENT DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO AND NOT TRYING TO COVER ANYTHING UP!!! I SAY, GOOD JOB TO THE POLICE OFFICERS WHO MADE THE ARREST AND NOT ALLOWING THE TRANNIES TO INTIMIDATE HIM!!!
Forget Tran. Did you hear that rising star Hugh Nguyen got State Senator Bob Huff’s endorsement yesterday? He is on track to beat Chris Norby…
http://orangejuiceblog.com/2009/08/state-senator-endorses-hugh-nguyen-for-o-c-clerk-recorder/
asians rule in the commie concentration camp, hey idiot we lost our country due to idiots like you who won’t support good viet leaders.
Go live under commie rule ..you dumb crap!
90% of your Viet gangster criminal “for sale” ?????electeds are ticking time bombs….tick tick tick tick….in the process of self-destructing. This revealing Andy Quach/Van Tran incident is just the beginning. Andrew Do and Dina Nguyen will surely follow thanks mostly to their no morals mentors Van Tran and Janet Nguyen. (2 total insults to us all) Not all Viets are no morals…yet they vote for these criminals.
Mark my words. Any Quach is DONE. Be it soon, or a year from now, getting slautered at election time. Him to be re-elected will be the same thing as telling all of us to stay out of Westminster because its infected with ignorance.
Aint Van Tran mighty young to have such a double chin.
Someone here called him ‘turtle face’. ROFL.
lottapoop, I think you are the under ground criminal polluting our side walks. Aren’t you too young to have testical removal surgery under the counter? Idiot, any second toughts?
BollSitMay, they call you “Enlarged Anus” why?
The ghost of the commie past pretty much active and haunt every Viet subconcious mind, after all those years. (sigh)
Jung Kim, Jose s. and everyone here on the blog, do not give them the regards they don’t deserve.
Every time, a viet refugee accuse other a commie, the real commie just ROFLaughing.
I wish people stop calling each other commies, do not give the commie the power they don’t deserve.
