Not only has the Elk Grove Blvd. Wal Mart developed a reputation as shoplifting target of sorts in Elk Grove, if last night's incident is any indication, its parking lot might develop a reputation as a dangerous place too.
According to Elk Grove Police, two female suspects who initially were suspected of shoplifting were arrested on a variety of charges including battery, kidnapping, criminal conspiracy, robbery and making criminal threats.
The incident started when 21-year old Brianne Jefferson and 20-year old Sashe Hinton, both of Fairfield, were observed shoplifting by Wal Mart loss prevention employees. When the pair left the store, employees were able to detain Hinton but Jefferson ran away.
Jefferson then reportedly ran to a nearby car and began speaking with its occupants. At that time, a car driven by a 55-year old woman came upon Jefferson who was talking with the car's occupants that happened to be double parked.
The driver of the car exited and asked Jefferson and the occupants of the car to move. A verbal argument between the driver and Jefferson ensued and Jefferson began an assault on the driver.
The female driver suffered visible injuries as a result of the attack. When the driver's husband came to her aid, several unknown suspects associated with Jefferson began to kick and punch him in the head resulting in injuries that required medical attention.
Jefferson then ran over to the victim's car and drove away. In the car was a 39-year old mother and her two children whom she allegedly threatened as she drove approximately 200 yards in the parking lot.
Jefferson then stopped the vehicle and fled on foot. The husband gave chase and was able to detain her. After detaining Jefferson, he was taken to an area hospital for medical treatment.
Both Jefferson and Hinton were arrested and taken to the county jail. Jefferson remain in custody on a $207,500 bail and Hinton is not eligible for bail. The suspects responsible for assaulting the husband were not located.
More mayhem from the animals among us.
What’s the chance of that? It’s California.
That place is scary. It’s sort of an island of crime in the middle of a nice suburban community — right next to a busy freeway that goes through the crappy part of Sacramento.
Obama’s peeps?!
Wow, I’m shocked
Shocked, I tell you
Sashy sho’ look cute stickin’ out her tongue like Miley.
That's an ignorant comment. This crap happens in Walmart parking lots near bad neighborhoods all over the country.
You can always count on seeing a lot of ignorant comments on these kinds of threads.
One slap, one attempted beat-down to me and they’d have gotten a 45 ACP DRT slug in their gut from me.
I guessed right!
I guessed right!
I never go to Wal-Mart unarmed.
Consider the context of what I was replying to.
Elk Grove, CA:
Small cattle town to filthy, dangerous ghetto in just 2 decades.
Sacramento County, of which Elk Grove is a part, settled a lawsuit several years ago making the county effectively "shall issue". I don't know whether the present Sheriff is frustrating that settlement nor do I know how many have sought and received permits, but the chances of someone carrying in Sacramento County are probably much greater than in my county.
This 'shall issue' policy at the Sacramento Sheriff's Office turns out to be a tribunal vetting process (in person) where they toss your application out for anything they can dream up and only offer 300 unannounced 'interview request' slots every 3-6 months. If you're lucky enough to log onto their SSO website and get one of the slots before they disappear in 20 mins, you might have a slim chance of getting your CCW if the nice Sheriff's deputies can't find a way to deny your application.
This so-called 'shall issue' process sounds very much like trying to get a permit for a hunting rifle in Soviet-era East Germany.
So, back to the Elk Grove Wal-Mart beating: Slim to none on chances of a CCW carrier at the scene.
Once you assault someone you are no longer a “shoplifter” you are a violent robber.
