The robbers lost again.
At about 7:51 p.m. on Tuesday, April 5, Orland police officers were dispatched to a report of a suspicious black 2007 Toyota Camry occupied by several males between the Dollar General store and the CVS pharmacy in the 800 block of Newville Road.
The Toyota was stopped for having an expired registration and officers contacted the driver, Noel Diaz, 18, of Sacramento. During the traffic stop, dispatch gave updated information that two subjects from the Toyota had just robbed the CVS pharmacy and ran from the store with a large sack.
Assisting California Highway Patrol officers located and detained Roshawan Troupe, 20, of Sacramento, near the intersection of Walker and Eighth Streets. The third suspect, a 16-year-old boy from Sacramento, was later found and detained behind Dollar General.
During the investigation, officers recovered stolen medication from the pharmacy and an undisclosed amount of cash stolen from the register. Diaz and Troupe were booked into the Glenn County Jail, and the juvenile was taken into custody by a Glenn County probation officer.
At 7:58 p.m., Noel Deanda Diaz, 18, of Sacramento, was booked into the jail on charges alleging one count of robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime, and accessory to a crime (all felonies). His bail was set at $210,000.
At 7:58 p.m., Roshawan Earlwestley Troupe, 20, of Sacramento, was booked into the jail on charges alleging two counts of robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime, and accessory to a crime (all felonies). His bail was set at $310,000.
The juvenile was also charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime, and accessory to a crime.
At the end of its press release, the Orland Police Department thanked the citizens of Orland, the CHP, and the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this case.
The above incident has a lot of similarities to a robbery from 2018. At about 5:33 p.m. on Thursday, April 12, 2018, Orland police officers responded to a robbery that just occurred at the Orland CVS Pharmacy, 869 Newville Road.
Witnesses reported three black male adults entered the store, then rushed the pharmacy counter, where they stole an undisclosed amount of controlled prescription narcotics and medication. The three fled the store to a nearby red 2016 Ford Fusion, where a fourth black male suspect was waiting.
The four suspects fled the area southbound on Interstate 5. The Ford was located in south Glenn County, but failed to yield when officers and deputies attempted to stop it.
The Ford was pursued into Colusa County until it crashed on Delevan Road near Sutton Road. The four suspects fled the crashed vehicle on foot and were chased through neighboring fields until they were all caught and apprehended.
The stolen narcotics and prescription medication, along with other evidence of the robbery, was recovered.
The three adults were identified as Brandon Dion Bailey, 30 years old at the time, from Citrus Heights; Rasheed Jamale Muhammad, Jr., 19 at the time, from Sacramento; Robert Michael Brady, also 19 at the time, from Alameda; and the 16-year-old from Fresno.
Bailey was found guilty of second-degree burglary and a couple of special allegations. He was sentenced to six years in state prison, and victim restitution of $7,306.
Muhammad was also found guilty of second-degree burglary. He was sentenced to 60 months’ probation, fines, 241 days in jail, no alcohol, no firearms or ammunition, and no entering CVS property.
And Brady was also found guilty of second-degree burglary. He was sentenced to three years in state prison, 227 days (already served), counseling, and $7,306 restitution.
