Summary:
On Monday, January 4, 2021, deputies from the Rancho Cucamonga Station were dispatched to Home Depot regarding a shoplifting in progress. Witnesses reported seeing a female suspect, later identified as Jasmine Aitchison, concealing tools in a backpack. Aitchison attempted to exit the store through an emergency exit but was unsuccessful. Aitchison eventually exited through the self-service registers and fled in an awaiting black sedan driven by a second suspect, identified as Jerome Daniels.
A witness saw the vehicle flee and advised deputies of its location. Daniels drove into a cul-de-sac and collided with several parked cars. Daniels proceeded onto Church Street where deputies located him and initiated a pursuit. Daniels hit the center divider at Church Street and Mayten Avenue and both Daniels and Aitchison fled from the vehicle on foot and into an apartment complex. Deputies set up a perimeter and deployed K9 Nyx, a scent tracking bloodhound. K9 Nyx quickly located Daniels on a balcony and deputies located Aitchison hiding in some bushes nearby.
Daniels and Aitchison were arrested and booked in at the West Valley Detention Center. Aitchison was cite-released on charges of Resisting a Peace Officer and Shoplifting. A record check on Daniels revealed he was on Post Release Community Supervision and remains in custody without bail.
