In a recent operation, Benicia Police Department officers arrested two suspects connected to a theft incident along Columbus Parkway. According to a social media post from the Benicia Police Department, the event underscores the ongoing effects of Prop 36 on crime-fighting efforts within the community. The arrests occurred yesterday when officers responded to reports of the theft in progress.

Arrested were Markquell Herbert Cain, a 43-year-old male and Keonnie Marie Carr, a 33-year-old female. Officials report, mistakenly attaching the devices to their ankles, that one suspect was on probation and outfitted with an ankle monitor. Both suspects were recently in custody and released elsewhere in the Bay Area. Cain, whose past includes two convictions for theft, is now facing a felony charge. Carr, on the other hand, was arrested and charged with committing a crime while on bail.

Cain's criminal charges, as detailed in the Benicia arrest records, include conspiracy to commit a crime and committing an offense while on bail. With a height listed at 6'0", Cain matches the description of an individual expected to be well-known in criminal systems. Carr, standing at a mere 5'0", faces similar charges, including conspiracy, theft with two prior convictions, and also committing a secondary offense while on bail, disclosing the depth of their alleged partnership in crime. Information on these arrests was available on the Benicia Police Department's website.
