The Antioch Police Department have announced the arrest of Rakeem Rucks, a 32-year-0ld Antioch resident who evaded police yesterday morning after they surrounded a home after a report of a man assaulting a female. This is a follow up to the photographs we posted this morning of the F Street incident.
Nice work Antioch PD!
INCIDENT: Domestic Violence / Resisting Arrest / Possession of a Stolen Gun
On 7/30/13 at approximately 11:59 AM, Antioch Police Department officers responded to a report of a male assaulting a female in the downtown area. As officers arrived on scene, the male subject (later identified as Rakeem Rucks) fled on foot, while the female victim remained on scene but was uncooperative and wouldn’t identify her attacker.
Antioch officers chased Rucks to a residence in the 400 block of F Street where Rucks violently resisted officers and then forced his way into the home. The residence was surrounded by police and attempts were made to call Rucks out of the home with no response. The original victim to the assault showed up at that scene and interfered with the police officers there and was ultimately arrested.
With no response from inside the F Street residence, officers made entry (deploying two light/sound diversionary devices) and cleared the home. A loaded, stolen firearm was found in the home, but Rucks was not located inside. It was determined that he likely fled out of the back before police could completely surround the residence.
Rucks was found several hours later by police after summoning medical assistance for injuries sustained while he tried to evade police. Rucks was taken into custody after treatment at a local hospital and then sent to the Martinez Detention Facility. This case is currently being looked at by the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office for criminal filing.
