November 20, 2009 (Spring Valley) – Joshua Kimble, 21, has been arrested on suspicion of robbing the La Presa Liquor Store at 9410 Jamacha Blvd. in Spring Valley on November 18. At 11:33 a.m., deputies responded to an armed robbery call, where the suspect reportedly brandished a pistol and was last seen on foot in an unknown direction.

 

No suspect vehicle was reported at the time. The suspect was described as a black male, 25 years, 6’ and 190 lbs. He was last seen wearing a dark colored baseball cap and black hoodie.  Deputies responding to the area spotted a man who matched the suspect description leaving in a vehicle. He spotted the patrol vehicle, accelerated away and was able to evade patrol units. Deputies and Lemon Grove Detectives set a large perimeter and began to perform a search of the area. It was believed the suspect had likely ditched his car and fled on foot.

A short time later the vehicle was located, abandoned, in the 1300 block of San Miguel Avenue. Evidence obtained from inside and nearby the vehicle led investigators to identify Kimble as a suspect. Detectives along with patrol units began checking areas Kimble was known to frequent.

At 3:09 p.m. deputies spotted Kimble driving in the 8900 block of Jamacha Road. A high risk vehicle stop was made and Kimble was arrested without incident. It is unknown at this time if Kimble is responsible for other unsolved robberies.
