The Benicia Police Department reported an arrest following an incident at Round Table Pizza, with community collaboration playing a key role. The apprehension of a suspect, identified as Jasmine Dejonar Mitchell, stemmed from an assault that left a manager seriously injured after a dispute over an order at the local eatery. The incident, which took place last Friday, prompted a social media appeal for information leading to the identification of the suspect.
Using the department's Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system, officials were alerted late last night when the vehicle associated with the suspect entered Benicia. Officers successfully located and identified Mitchell as the driver, arresting the 35-year-old female without incident, as per the Benicia Police Department. Mitchell faces a charge of battery with serious bodily injury.
Following the episode at the pizza establishment and prior to the arrest, local authorities had released a call for public assistance which detailed the suspect's demeanor and physical attributes. The Benicia Police Department appealed through a Hoodline report, requesting those with knowledge of the woman or the event to come forward, the specific details about the altercation and the suspect, who was believed to be named Jasmine, were widely disseminated.
