"He was not injured in the Jan. 19 incident, when San Leandro police say an officer fired at him during a foot chase after watching him turn toward the officer with the rifle in hand near the railroad tracks on the 800 block of Davis Street. No one was struck by the gunfire and Patterson continued to run before being arrested near a business on the 1600 block of Alvarado Street."
"Under state law, pointing a gun at someone can be prosecuted as an assault with a deadly weapon, and police wrote in court records they saw probable cause to arrest him on suspicion of assaulting a peace officer. But prosecutors haven't filed that charge. Police say they were attempting to pull Patterson over for an alleged moving violation when he drove off and led officers on a brief chase that ended when he crashed near Davis and Alvarado streets, according to court records."
CaRonn Patterson, 18, of Rodeo, was charged with felony counts of possessing an assault weapon and having a loaded gun in public, plus a misdemeanor hit-and-run. He pleaded not guilty and was released after posting $50,000 bail, with a preliminary hearing scheduled in March. San Leandro police say an officer fired at Patterson during a Jan. 19 foot chase after he turned toward the officer holding a rifle; no one was hit and Patterson was arrested after running and crashing. Police cited probable cause to suspect assaulting an officer, but prosecutors have not filed that charge. Body camera footage has not been released. Patterson has prior arrests this year, including November and a Placer County incident involving alleged gun possession.
