Suspect in Vallejo $2,600 Pokémon card robbery arrested after crash, police say
On July 7, officers were called to the 100 block of Nugent Drive on reports of a disturbance. Two victims said they met with a buyer to sell trading cards after arranging a sale through an online marketplace.
The cards were valued at $2,600, according to police.
During the meeting, the buyer inspected the cards before claiming he sent the payment. As the victims asked to confirm the transaction, police said the suspect attempted to flee the scene on an electric scooter with the cards.
Police said one of the victims attempted to stop the suspect, but the suspect used pepper spray on the victim as he fled the scene.
The victims were able to recover the cards and provided a description of the suspect. Officers determined that there were two other recent robberies that shared the same suspect description, location and assaults involving pepper spray.
Officers conducted a follow-up investigation and brought in the victims of the two other robberies for a photo lineup.
"Each victim independently identified the same suspect as the person responsible for the robbery and assault," police said in a statement.
The next day, officers responded to a traffic collision suspect near Tuolumne Street and Broadway. Police said one of the people involved in the crash matched the suspect description and was detained at the scene.
A records check determined that the suspect lived near the scene of the robbery. Officers also seized several items from the suspect, including a ski mask, electric scooter and cellphone.
After being medically cleared, the suspect was booked into the Solano County Jail on suspicion of robbery and assault with a chemical agent.

Friday Briefing: Trump's Order on Epstein Records
Trump authorized the release of some Epstein records President Trump said yesterday on social media that he was authorizing the release of 'any and all Grand Jury Testimony, subject to Court approval,' in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Trump cited 'the ridiculous amount of publicity' surrounding the case. Here's the latest. Trump's move is unlikely to satisfy critics within his own MAGA movement, who were outraged this week when his administration reversed course on promises to release more details about the federal investigation into the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, who died in 2019. They want the release of all Justice Department files on Epstein, not just grand jury testimony. Shortly before Trump's announcement, House Republicans — under pressure from Democrats and their own angry constituents — broke with Trump and agreed to set up a potential vote calling on the Justice Department to release material from its Epstein investigation. The measure, a nonbinding resolution, has not been scheduled for a vote and it's unclear if it could muster enough support to pass. The issue was holding up the House's final passage of legislation to claw back $9 billion in congressionally approved spending. Voting was still in progress when this briefing was sent. Context: Epstein died by suicide in prison while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. He was connected to many rich and powerful people, and many on both the right and the left suspect that some were involved in his criminal activity. Trump was friendly with Epstein for at least 15 years. Here's what we know. A deeper look: Trump calls it the 'Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.' Here's what his supporters say. Want all of The Times?
