Convicted San Mateo Woman Faces Sentencing, From Victim to Offender in Violent Crime SpreeSource: San Mateo County District Attorney

Yesterday, Rubye Denise Price, 30, was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, causing severe bodily harm. Price used her vehicle to pin her cousin against a fence during an unpleasant incident in April 2022, per the San Mateo County District Attorney.

Prior to this violent act, the San Mateo Police Department uncovered her history of involvement in criminal activities, although she had occasionally been a victim.

Now due for sentencing on December 7 at 9 a.m. for her recent crime, encounters with law enforcement are not of a foreign nature to Price. She was previously implicated in a home invasion case in November 2020. The detailed investigation established that Price, together with her boyfriend Andre McBride and their associate Donte Jordan, exploited her caregiver position to rob a physically weak 97-year-old lady. They withheld not only money but also personal belongings such as a Life Alert device, glasses, and a treasured necklace from the elderly woman, according to the San Mateo Police Department.

As a result of the 2020 home invasion investigation, Price, alongside McBride and Jordan, was taken into custody. They faced several criminal charges varying from first-degree robbery and crime conspiracy to burglary and intentional elderly abuse. Interestingly, being an offender in 2022, having started out as a victim during the 2020 home invasion, Price's history presents a complex narrative.
