EL CENTRO CA Aug 29 2011 Suspect brandishes knife at Imperial Valley Mall security guard
No one was arrested Friday when a man brandished a nickel-plated pocket knife at an Imperial Valley Mall security guard over a suspected theft, an El Centro Police Department log entry read.
The security guard, identified as Salvador Rocha, was not hurt during the confrontation that was reported at 9:15 p.m. about a minute after it occurred, the entry reported. Rocha, 27, followed a Latino male suspect who walked out the southeast exit of the mall to a red 1998 Ford Mustang a moment before the suspect pulled out the knife and challenged him, the entry read.
Police obtained a California license plate number and traced the vehicle to a Bush Court home in Calexico. A resident at the scene told officers they’ve been renting the property for two months and knew nothing about anyone who drove the vehicle.
The suspect brandishing the pocket knife was described as standing about 6 feet tall and wearing a red polo shirt with a white undershirt and denim jeans. The suspect sat in the passenger seat that was driven by a young woman who headed toward Danenberg Road, the entry reported.
