A North Hills man was arrested Thursday on charges that include alleged robbery, resisting arrest, brandishing a replica firearm, and violation of parole.
At about 2:28 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 21, Orland police officers responded to a report of a man brandishing a handgun in front of Sav Mor market, 35 East Walker Street, but learned the suspect had already fled the scene in a black GMC SUV.
During the investigation, officers determined the suspect allegedly brandished a handgun at employees when they confronted him for shoplifting.
A short time later, the black GMC was located near Papst Avenue and East Walker Street. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver fled from officers until the SUV collided with a gate and trees at the intersection of Bryant Street and County Road MM.
The suspect reportedly fought with officers and was taken into custody with the assistance of a police K9.
Officers recovered a CO2 bb gun pistol and later identified the suspect as Julio Sesar Saucedo Ornelas, 29, of North Hills. North Hills is a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles County.
Saucedo Ornelas was arrested and booked into the Glenn County Jail on charges alleging robbery (a felony), threatening to commit a crime with intent to terrorize (a felony), driving while under the influence of alcohol (a misdemeanor), evading a police officer with disregard for safety (a misdemeanor), obstructing or resisting a public service officer (a misdemeanor), and exhibition of a firearm (a misdemeanor).
Bail was set at $265,000, but he was also held without bail for alleged violation of parole (a felony).
A call from The Observer to the Glenn County Jail asking if Julio Ornelas was still an inmate there received the reply, “I have no one by that name in custody.”
