Police log: Sketch released of suspect who held up man at gunpoint at Shell Station
Plus, other police actions through Jan. 23

Bookmark and Share
Pleasanton police detectives along with a forensic composite artist have created a sketch of the unidentified male who robbed another man Jan. 16 as he was filling his tires with air at the Shell service station at 6750 Santa Rita Road in Pleasanton.

The robbery suspect approached the victim at about 9:45 p.m., according to Pleasanton police reports. He pointed a small silver handgun and said something to the effect of, "Give me your stuff or I will shoot you."

The suspect proceeded to take the victim's watch, wallet, iPhone, Louis Vuitton shoes and belt, and a 49ers bag containing a No. 84 Randy Moss jersey and a 49ers jacket. The suspect then got into a mid 2000s, two door, Silver Acura CL with a California license plate, driven by an unknown female, and fled eastbound on Pimlico Drive. The iPhone was located a short distance away from the crime scene, police said.

The suspect is described as a white or Hispanic male, 23-28 years old, 5 feet 10 inches, 130-140 pounds, brown eyes, unknown color hair, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with black baseball cap underneath and blue jeans. He has a dark tattoo, possibly an animal print, on the left side of his neck and, at the time of the robbery, several days' worth of facial hair.

The victim sustained no injuries.

Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to contact the Pleasanton Police Department at 931-5100.

In other police reports:

* A 47-year-old San Jose resident was arrested Jan. 21 during a routine traffic stop on Bernal Avenue at Interstate 680. Dexter Lekelbin Jones was stopped at 1:48 a.m., and police said they found an illegal glass smoking pipe on his person and crystal-like residue in the pipe. Police also reported finding 1.2 grams of methamphetamine and packaging equipment in his vehicle. Lekelbin was charged with possession of a controlled substance and intent to distribute.

* Two people were arrested in the early morning of Jan. 21 during a routine probation check at Motel 6 on Hopyard Road. Pleasanton police arrested Oakland resident Martin Louis McNeil, 47, on charges of possessing 0.2 grams of methamphetamine, and Hayward resident Tanaia Cheree Davenport, 24, after allegedly finding a stolen prescription for Soma in her purse. A checkbook not belonging to Davenport was found in her car, police reported, with several checks missing that were signed by the owner; Davenport admitted to forging those checks, police said.

A third person in the room was also on probation but was not arrested.

* Some $1,800 of jewelry and precious metals, including six sterling silver and cubic zirconia rings, were stolen from Bailey Banks and Biddle on Jan. 17. A sales clerk helped two females look at an open bridal display and said she didn't realize the rings were missing until she came back from break.

Under the law, those arrested are considered innocent until convicted.
