For Immediate Release September 25, 2009

On 9/21/09, at about 11:30 p.m., a female was forced into a truck at knife point
by a lone suspect somewhere in the area of central downtown Bakersfield. The
victim was driven to a local hotel in the 6800 block of South Union Avenue,
where she was sexually assaulted and robbed.

The suspect vehicle is described as:

A mid-90’s model, possibly a Ford truck,

that has dull exterior black paint, (possibly a re-paint), and “star” designed
aftermarket chrome wheels. The vehicle is possibly an unknown style extra cab
truck due to the victim stating there were seats behind the driver and front
passenger seats. The interior is black with grey cloth seats and an aftermarket
stereo with a green illuminated clock protruding from the dash. Clothing items
and shoes were also seen both in the bed of the truck and behind the driver and
front passenger seats.

The suspect is described as a:

Hispanic Male 28-30 years old, 5-7, 170-180 pounds (“not slim but chunky”),
very short “crew-cut” style hair that has grown out some since being cut,
medium complexion.

He was wearing a short sleeve black t-shirt with a white designer logo of some
kind, black and white shorts extending below the knees with an unknown pattern.
The suspect has two large tattoos on his thighs; one thigh with the letter “E”in
thick a solid green block style letter, the other thigh had the letter “F” also in a
thick solid green block style letter.

The weapon used was described as a:

folding knife with an approximate five inch blade.

The investigation is on-going and more specific information regarding where the
offense originated will follow.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Bakersfield Police

Department at 327-7111.
