CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) — A 52-year-old man was arrested for attempted murder after allegedly cutting a 17-year-old girl’s throat at a Chula Vista bus stop.

According to the Chula Vista Police Department, officers received a call from the teen just after 8 a.m. saying her “throat had been cut by a stranger who fled on foot in the 500 block of Broadway.”

When officers arrived, they found the 17-year-old at the bus stop at the intersection of Broadway and H Street with “significant” cuts to her neck.

“The teenage victim was conscious and gave officers a statement. While she was sitting at the bus stop, an unknown man came up to her from behind and grabbed her head. He reached around her neck and cut her throat with a sharp object,” police said.

“The man walked away without saying a word. She described him as Hispanic or Black, wearing a dark jacket, and she believed him to be 50 to 60 years of age,” the department added.

Wednesday morning, San Diego Metropolitan Transit System Officers found and detained the man, who was seen on MTS cameras.


He was identified as Antwan Baker, 52. According to police, Baker has since been booked into the San Diego County Jail on an attempted murder charge.

The victim was treated at the hospital and is now home recovering with her family.

People that live or work in the area of the attack say they weren't surprised to hear about what happened. They say they don't feel safe in the area lately, citing an increased number of people either homeless or struggling with mental health. Several people waiting for the bus Wednesday night say they hope to see an increase of police in

pick a side in that argument, merh.

I say a homeless person is a greater risk than others simply because they're transients.......and likely mental cases.

If the crime is as serious as this attempt? Quick trial........even quicker execution.

He is either sane & a killer

Or he's mentally ill with God knows what going on in that head.

Did he see demons everywhere like some of my clients?
Or was his time screwy so this teen looked like someone he knew when he was a teen that he felt wronged him? 
Or did he think she was trying to harm him?

That's the game.
In custody on meds they're fine. 
Send them out into the world with their meds they end up flushing?

Back to the voices & delusions.

If he's mentally ill, he's not getting executed, dude.

That bus stop is close to the mall I got to for movies. It's not a bad area.

That's the thing......... I DON'T CARE which one it is. All I care about was the acts they committed and the punishment that should follow.

So it could just as easily have been you or your family getting slashed. THAT seems to upset me much more than you.

‘Monster’ With Sharpened Teeth Held 20-Year-Old Captive for Weeks, Cops Say

A 36-year-old Michigan man kidnapped a woman, held her captive, sexually assaulted her for weeks—and threatened to “rip out her throat” with teeth he’d filed down into sharp points, cops say.

Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson identified the suspect as Michael Barajas, who he said approached the 20-year-old victim around Thanksgiving and offered her a place to stay after she’d been kicked out of her house.

The victim, who has not been identified, was pregnant and was especially vulnerable as Barajas spotted her on the street, Swanson said in a video shared Wednesday on Facebook.

Hoping to get out of the cold, the woman accepted Barajas’ offer. As soon as they arrived at the home, however, Barajas allegedly barricaded the woman inside, tied her to a bed, and subjected her to repeated sexual assaults by numerous suspects over the course of three weeks.

She was allegedly locked inside a room where the windows had been screwed shut to keep her from escaping.

“This story is horrifying. Rarely do I ever use adjectives like I’m going to use for this case,” Swanson said.



Throughout the ordeal, the sheriff said, the alleged kidnapper repeatedly warned the victim he would use his sharpened teeth to “rip out her throat” if she didn’t do as she was told.

“It’s bizarre. This guy, he’s a monster,” Swanson said, calling it “chilling” that he “threatened to sink his teeth into the victim’s neck.”

He said Barajas was trying to live out a “fantasy,” forcing the victim to write a letter and “describe him as daddy.”

The victim made three escape attempts and in the first two was snatched back up by her alleged kidnapper and other suspects in the house. The third one, in which the victim suffered a “medical emergency” related to her pregnancy, was ultimately successful after medical staff at a hospital contacted authorities to report that the woman had clearly been abused.

Police say Barajas was arrested that same day and faces a string of charges: human trafficking, kidnapping, first-degree criminal sexual conduct, possession of methamphetamine, and assault. He is currently being held on a $245,000 bond.

The investigation is ongoing, with police now hunting for multiple other suspects accused of taking part in the sexual assaults.

“There’s more out there,” Swanson said

That's the 2nd similar story I've seen in a month or so. Multiple people, collectively using their combined minds to abuse other people like that?

And you still ain't down for the death penalty, huh?

Damn I thought this was normal behavior when using self checkouts.

AdSnoo9734•18 min. ago
Really?

I get watched like a hawk every single time.

No matter if I’m buying a pack of gum or a bunch of groceries.

Edit: The Winco nearby will literally tackle customers who steal anything. I’ve witnessed at least two customers—one a small little lady and another a man—get run down and tackled in the exit.

The employees wear knee pads (I think specifically for this purpose), profile people like crazy, and will give secret signals (whenever they spot a “potential thief”) to have managers and employees

pretend to hop in line to buy things

work on stuff near the checkouts

just stand as backup next to the register

…if they think you look poor/“criminal.”

Target Corporation will log all of your theft until you have accumulated a certain amount and than they will lock your ass up

It's what Walmart does also. They knew she was stealing for $999.99 worth of stuff until they acted. It's in the playbook.

employee reviewed surveillance video and found that Fliam had stolen more than $1,000 worth of merchandise since April by not scanning it.

Doing this for one item here and there is one thing, this does show that they will wait until you've done enough to be charged with a felony.

chilledkangaroo•44 min. ago
The fact that you see this persons name and picture in the news for such a low level crime makes me, a German, so uncomfortable.

GotenRocko•7 min. ago
Yep and if they ever do report on wage theft, there is no mug shot of the owner or managers to shame them.

Thepuppeteer777777•45 min. ago
and yet the CEO isnt going to jail for wage theft.

Necessary-Branch-754•1 hr. ago
I was wondering the other day if these stores where seeing a lot of lost merchandise from people stealing and how it matches up with what they are saving by not hiring cashiers. They still must be saving more or they’d have gone back.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A San Diego County Sheriff's Department deputy who has served on the force for nearly 16 years was arrested on multiple counts of burglary and possession of a controlled substance.

The department's press release says its detectives arrested Deputy Cory Richey Friday around 7:30 a.m. after he showed up at work ready to report for duty. Richey faces 13 counts of burglary and three counts of possession of a controlled substance, and he was booked into the San Diego Central Jail, the release says.

His bail was set at $250,000.

He has been suspended without pay from the sheriff's department, which says it does not tolerate criminal activity from employees and investigates all misconduct.

"We hold our employees accountable for decisions made and actions taken. As steadfast public servants, we will continue to maintain the highest level of expectations and require all our employees to adhere to policies and procedures, as well as all federal, state, and local statutes. The communities we serve expect this of the Sheriff's Department and we demand this of ourselves," the release says.

Don't have these in Wisconsin?

Military surplus are goods, usually matériel, that are sold or otherwise disposed of when held in excess or are no longer needed by the military. Entrepreneurs often buy these goods and resell them at surplus stores. Usually the goods sold by the military are clothing, equipment, and tools of a nature that is generally useful to the civilian population, as well as embroidered patches, name tags, and other items that can be used for a faux military uniform. Occasionally, vehicles (jeeps, trucks, etc.) will be sold as well. Some military surplus dealers also sell military surplus firearms, spare parts, and ammunition alongside surplus uniforms and equipment.

Military surplus stores were even out in San Bernardino when I was growing up.
