Purse thief gets it in the groin
Two men are in San Joaquin County Jail today after a harrowing run involving three police agencies late Wednesday night.
Manteca Police officer Jason Downs responded to a purse snatching at the SaveMart at 1172 N. Main St., where the victim told him that she had been punched in the back by a black male who had run off with her purse.
The black male proceeded to run to a car, where he and a driver sped off.
At the time all of this was happening, Stockton Police were taking a report of a carjacking in South Stockton where the suspects had superficially cut a victim across the throat and fled with the car.
The victim is okay.
A litt
e while later, Manteca Police officer Joe Aguilar spotted the suspect car and tried to pull it over. The car did not yield, and the resulting pursuit lasted seven minutes.
It went from the corner
of Powers and Yosemite Avenue to Main Street
. The suspect car proceeded on to Highway 120, and then southbound Highway 99. Roughly a mile after the main Ripon exit, the suspect car crashed.
The two men got out and began to run on foot.
By this time, Manteca Police officers John Machado and Bill Wallmer had joined the pursuit, as well as officers from the Ripon and Stockton Police Department.
It is unclear which of the suspects -- 21-year-old John Stallworth and 25-year-old Rodney Cournuex, both of Stockton -- was caught first, but one of them was caught as he was crossing the freeway
The other one was not so lucky.
The suspect jumped across a barrier, only to find that the other side was 20 feet below him. He would have died if it weren't for a well placed tree that b
roke his fall part of the way down. The tree hit him in the groin.
The injured suspect was taken to San Joaquin County General Hospital, then joined his friend at the County Jail.
Both
Sta
llworth and Cournuex are charged with the following:
Armed robb
ery.
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Carjacking.
Resisting arrest.
Conspiracy.
Possession of a syringe.
Both suspects had two outstanding warrants a-piece. Stallworth was on probation and Cournuex was a parolee at large.
