Antioch Man Arrested After Motorcycle Theft, Pursuit in Moraga

by ECT

On August 3, 2017 at approximately 3:05am, a Moraga resident called the police to report that his motorcycle had just been stolen from the 300 block of Calle La Montana and was being driven away from the location. Moraga police immediately responded and an officer located the stolen motorcycle being driven on Campolindo Drive.

The officer attempted to stop the vehicle but the suspect did not yield to the officer and fled south on Moraga Road. The suspect led officers on a pursuit before he lost control of the motorcycle on Canyon Road at Country Club Drive. The suspect fled on foot for a short distance before being taken into custody. The suspect, identified as 28-year-old Shawn Ham of Antioch, was later booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on charges of motor vehicle theft and felony evading, with additional charges pending of possession of heroin and driving on a suspended license. The victim was able to recover his motorcycle at the scene and ride it home.

The reporting party in this incident was alert to the sound of his motorcycle being started, which led to him to calling the police and ultimately to the arrest of the suspect and the recovery of the motorcycle. The Moraga Police Department stresses the importance of remaining alert to any suspicious behavior in the community and reporting any suspicious activity to the Moraga Police Department.

If you have any information about this incident, please contact Detective Mooney at 925-888-7056.

Meth will do that to ya! Now, if Shawny would only smile!

Looks like Walter white and Jesse pinkman from breaking bad. And the red shirt with a neck tattoo. Poster boy for white trash of Antioch.

He was arrested with possession of heroin, not meth. Not everything is meth related. Heroin is known as the worst hard drug. Always has been – always will be.

This guy might do both…. heroin AND meth. Maybe he refuses to smile because of the condition of his teeth.

I agree with Melanie. Maybe he does every drug in the book. But if he was arrested at 3 a.m. in possession of heroin, he’s probably a heroin addict.

Thieves were around long before meth, and it wasn’t always drug related. You can have a drug problem and not be a thief, or be a thief without a drug problem.

Why would anyone smile for a mugshot? Get real.
