Here is the information on last night's car jacking that ended on Jibboom St in North Sacramento (straight from the Sacramento Police Dept!):

Husband and wife went to the check cashing store near Arden/Del Paso. They parked their mini-van out front while they withdrew cash.

When they returned to their vehicle and started to drive away, a male Black adult was in their backseat holding a gun.

He demanded their cash and ordered them to drive him to West Sac. Suspect remained in the back seat counting victim's money and waving a gun around.

When victims reached Jibboom Street, the male victim decided to fight back. He grabbed the handgun and began fighting with the suspect as he drove.

The female jumped out of the vehicle. The male hit the brakes and physically fought with suspect over the gun.

Suspect fled, but fight continued into the street, suspect fled on foot leaving behind the handgun and much of the victim's cash. The handgun turned out to be a BB Pistol facsimile. SPD, along with CHP and air unit set up a perimeter.

Officer, while stationed at his perimeter position in front of the Rusty Duck, observed suspect and took him into custody. Suspect was charged with two counts of kidnapping and two counts of armed robbery. 

Suspect arrested was Jeffrey Elder 26yrs old.
