Another San Diego theft crime has been perpetrated. This story comes from the San Diego Union Tribune, which reports that a 27 year-old man named Brandon Murray was arrested on Orange Avenue at around 2:15 pm for allegedly intending to “commit a crime which will result in greatly bodily injury.” He was also booked on a count of spousal abuse.

Mr. Murray had been working as a fleet manager at a company called Alert Ambulance. He allegedly phoned his coworkers at around 11:40 in the morning and threatened physical violence. As Mr. Murray headed to the Hancock Street office to “collect his personal belongings,” police tracked him down and pulled him over. They searched his vehicle and discovered four semi-automatic guns as well as ammunition.

Allegations such as the ones against Mr. Murray can be extremely serious. If convicted, he could face many years in prison, even though he did not actually execute any violence against his coworkers.

A 31-year-old San Diego woman, who was arrested in connection with a bombing outside the downtown federal courthouse, has been indicted by a grand jury bringing the case closer to a trial, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Rachelle Lynetter Carlock has pleaded not guilty to charges of purchasing gun powder and using a stolen identity.

The hearing in this case has reportedly been set for July 23 in San Diego. The bombing occurred May 4 and officials have been investigating Carlock’s involvement with the incident since. She is charged with buying two pounds of Hodgdon Triple Se7en powder on April 7 and two more on May 1, three days before the alleged bombing. On May 13, she reportedly returned to the store.

One of the employees reported her as suspicious to police when she became visibly “spooked” as he requested her driver’s license, which was apparently a new store policy. Officials got her finger prints from bottles of powder she touched in the store and finally learned her real identity, the article said.

Charges alleging terrorism and acts of violence have tremendous consequences. A conviction will mean time in prison, hefty fines and huge penalties. It takes a smart, competent and experienced criminal defense attorney to conduct an independent and thorough investigation and find those gaps in the prosecution’s case.
