Modesto CA Nov 19 2011 Officers arrested a 21-year-old man suspected of burglarizing a Modesto electronics business before he stabbed a security guard in the hand with a screwdriver during a failed attempt to avoid capture, a police spokesman said.
Brandon Hobbs of Modesto was arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of robbery, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest and violating probation, said Sgt. Rick Applegate.
He said the security guard suffered minor injuries and was treated by medics at the scene.
The burglary occurred shortly before 7 a.m. at Willie Electric Supply at 101 S. Seventh St., just north of B Street. Officers were sent to the business to respond to a burglary alarm.
Applegate said the suspect broke a window to enter the business and was inside stacking merchandise near an exit when he was confronted by the security guard who had been notified by the alarm company before police.
The security guard chased and cornered Hobbs in a nearby yard, holding him at gunpoint. Applegate said Hobbs stabbed the guard’s hand and ran away.
Hobbs ran toward Highway 99, where a police officer was waiting. Applegate said Hobbs spotted the officer and ran back into a nearby property.
The officers created a perimeter around the area. Officer Mark Ulrich and his police dog Stryker found Hobbs hiding.
Applegate said Hobbs tried to run again, but was apprehended by Stryker, who bit Hobbs’ arm. Hobbs was arrested and treated at a local hospital for the bite before he was taken to the Stanislaus County Jail.
