The incident occurred at a residence on Plaza Street in Clearlake Oaks, where deputies responded at about 6:40 p.m. Monday, according to Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
The three suspects, described only as three black male adults, had already fled the home in a light blue, late model extended cab pickup truck by the time the 911 call was made, Bauman said.
Bauman said the alleged victim, 25-year-old Dustin Warner, told deputies that he and his girlfriend, 24-year-old Jerni Hubman, and their young child were in the home preparing dinner when one of the suspects knocked on the front door. Warner answered and saw that it was an acquaintance of his, known only as “T.T.”
Warner told deputies that he started to let the man in as there was no apparent problem but when he went to shut the door, another man walked in.
“T.T.” then pulled out a chrome semi-automatic pistol, grabbed Warner by the shirt and forced him to the floor. Bauman said a third suspect apparently entered the home while Warner was on the floor and one of the suspects ordered Hubman and the child into a bedroom.
Warner was forced into his bedroom with the gun held to his head and then directed the men to his unlocked safe in a bathroom, Bauman said. The three suspects allegedly took two to three ounces of marijuana from the safe and proceeded to go through the rest of the house looking for other property.
Bauman said the men are alleged to have taken a 42-inch flat screen television, a laptop computer and a Nintendo Wii system before fleeing in the pickup.
The first suspect to enter the home, “T.T.,” was described as a black male adult, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, thin build with dreadlock-style hair and both arms “sleeved” with tattoos, Bauman said. “T.T.” is believed to be from the Rancho Cordova or Sacramento area.
Bauman said the other two suspects were described only as “clean cut” black male adults with no facial hair.
There were no apparent injuries resulting from the robbery and the case is pending further investigation, according to Bauman.
Anyone with information on the identities of the suspects, the blue pickup truck or the incident is encouraged to call the Lake County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit at 707-262-4200.
