Diana Peng arrested in San Francisco on multiple felony charges

San Francisco Police Department officers arrested 42-year-old Diana Peng during a warrant-authorized search of a residence in the Sea Cliff neighborhood on November 6, 2026. Peng faces several felony charges, including possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon, unlawful possession of a controlled substance with a firearm, and narcotics-related offenses. Investigators reported finding a .38 caliber revolver, various ammunition, and methamphetamine at the scene.

In addition to the weapons and drug charges, Peng is accused of animal neglect. Officers from City Animal Care and Control removed seven pit bulls and puppies from the property during the arrest.

Separately, San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu filed a lawsuit against Peng and Brandon Aadee, alleging they used fraudulent deeds to acquire and sell the multi-million dollar property. The complaint claims that multiple deeds were produced through 2026, at least five of which were fraudulently notarized. The property also faces over $345,000 in tax defaults, which the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has authorized for a special tax auction.
