Summary  
On June 5, 1968, STIRHAN BISHARA SIRHANA (later identified as SIRHAN BISHARA) was arrested by Los Angeles Police Department officers T.R. WHITE and ARTHUR PLACENCIA at the Ambassador Hotel, 3400 Wilshere Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. He was charged with suspicion of assault with intent to murder (217 PC). During his arrest, he was identified as WISEN DOE #1 and recorded under the name JOHN DOE #11. Medical examination by Dr. E.C. LANZ revealed a swollen left ankle (probable sprain), confusion of the right index finger, hematoma on the forehead, and minor facial abrasions.  

On June 7, 1968, SA EDWARD A. PLEVACK received photographs from Lieutenant C.F. HUGHES of the Los Angeles Police Department depicting two individuals subduing the suspect at the Ambassador Hotel. The photograph includes ROOSEVELT GRILL, a Los Angeles Rams football player, positioned to the right rear. Additional photographs were provided by Lieutenant HUGHES, showing Sirhan Bishara being removed from the hotel and booked by LAPD following his arrest for shooting Senator Robert F. Kennedy.  

The FBI’s FD-302 form (Rev. 4-15-64) dated June 8, 1968, references records provided by Lieutenant HUGHES on June 7, 1968. The document notes that the FBI does not issue recommendations or conclusions and emphasizes its property status for internal use.  

A separate FBI FD-302 form dated June 8, 1968, details records obtained by SA RICHARD E. CROMWELL from the Pasadena Police Department on June 7, 1968. It references a case involving ELIZABETH Y. EVANS, who was shot in the scalp during an incident at the LAMBASEAR MOTEL. Medical examination by Dr. CUBA confirmed a bullet lodged in her scalp without exiting, and she was admitted to HUNTINGTON HOSPITAL. The document notes that Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s location was contested by Mrs. Evans, though no direct connection to his assassination is established. Additional sections include Pasadena Police Department investigation reports (PPC Fur-112) regarding an attempted murder case on June 5, 69, with details about medical treatment and police involvement. Medical records from the CITY OF LOS ANGELES RECEIVING HOSPITAL describe injuries sustained in a shooting, including bullet wounds to the head, and mention charges for emergency care. The text contains redacted social security numbers (noted as present) and administrative notes about document distribution restrictions.
