The Marin County Sheriff’s Office, in collaboration with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), announced the arrest of a third suspect in a series of residential burglary cases. The suspect, identified as Emani Gordon, a 29-year-old man from Fairfield, was taken into custody in Santa Rosa. According to the Marin County Sheriff’s Office, Gordon was booked on charges of residential burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, and violation of state parole. Currently, Gordon is held without bail due to the parole violation.
The initial burglary incident, which sparked the flurry of events leading to this arrest, took place on May 20. A homeowner in San Geronimo Valley interrupted a burglary in progress and managed to detain one of the two perpetrators. The other suspect attempted to make a getaway in a waiting silver Ford Taurus. Following a reckless driving report, the Central Marin Police Authority conducted a traffic stop, apprehending the driver while the passenger fled on foot. Despite the efforts of multiple agencies and air support to locate the outstanding suspect, he was able to temporarily elude law enforcement.
Marin Sheriff's Office revealed that the arrested individuals from the burglary were Shalaya Cherry, aged 29, from Marin City, and Clarissa Anderson, a 25-year-old transient from San Rafael. They were detained on charges of burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary, with bail set at $200,000 each. All the detailed events were captured in a recount by the Marin County Sheriff’s Office in their report on the interrupted residential burglary in San Geronimo Valley.
The successful arrest of Gordon marks the culmination of multi-agency collaboration and intensive investigation efforts. In expressing gratitude for the support rendered by the community and various law enforcement partners, the Sheriff’s Office emphasized its commitment to addressing such community concerns. The investigation into the burglary string remains ongoing, and authorities encourage anyone with additional information to get in touch with the Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division at 415-473-7265.
