"A second suspect has been arrested in the robbery and beating of a man who told police he picked up two sex workers and took them to a hotel so they could eat snacks together and chat, court records show. Raquel Ochoa, 22, was charged with second degree robbery. She joins Clearlake resident Dwayne Yiggins, 18, who had already been charged in the Oct. 19 incident after his arrest in late November."
"When police identified Ochoa as a suspect and arrested her in an unrelated investigation in Salinas, she reportedly denied involvement in the robbery and said she'd been in New York at the time. She told police she had previously been a sex worker but gave it up to work as a traveling dancer, authorities said. Police say that on Oct. 19, the victim paid two sex workers $200 and took them to the Capri Motel on West MacArthur Boulevard."
On Oct. 19, a man paid two sex workers $200 and took them to the Capri Motel on West MacArthur Boulevard, where five suspects attacked him. One suspect pepper-sprayed the victim; Dwayne Yiggins allegedly choked him and the group stole his wallet, vape pen, phone and Toyota Prius keys. Dwayne Yiggins, 18, was arrested in late November and remains jailed with bail set at $50,000. Raquel Ochoa, 22, was later arrested in an unrelated Salinas investigation and charged with second-degree robbery; she pleaded not guilty and has been released. Yiggins is next due in court on Feb. 3.
