Sheriff’s deputies last week arrested a pair of brothers and another man on suspicion of possessing stolen property, after authorities had been called to a residence on an assault report.
Deputies arrested Brian and Brandon Jenkins, of San Juan Bautista, along with Arturo Sanchez, after the incident.
It started with a report called in at 5 p.m. Thursday, as San Benito County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the 700 block of Salinas Road for a prior assault with a deadly weapon incident that occurred in the 300 block of Sixth Street.
According to a sheriff’s statement:
The reporting party told the deputies while his 17-year-old son was walking home from school a car pulled up next to him. The reporting party son noticed Brian and Brandon Jenkins in the vehicle along with Arturo Sanchez. Sanchez got out of the vehicle and started to hit the seventeen year old several times in the head with his fists.
The victim in this case called his father and told him what had just happened. The victim’s father went to the Jenkins residence to ask the brothers why they jumped his son. When the victim’s father approached the Jenkins residence, Brian Jenkins came out of his residence and pointed a rifle at him. Brandon Jenkins came out of the residence with a bat in his hand and Sanchez was holding some sort of metal club in his hands. The victim’s father was in fear for his life and got back in his car and left.
While the deputies were speaking to the reporting party at his residence, the two Jenkins brothers and Sanchez drove by. Sheriff’s Deputies immediately recognized the vehicle and the suspects and gave chase. The vehicle was subsequently pulled over and Brian and Brandon Jenkins along with Arturo Sanchez were arrested without further incident.
When deputies searched the Jenkins brothers’ vehicle they recovered possible stolen property. All three subjects were booked into the county jail.
The following day San Benito County Sheriff’s deputies conducted a search warrant on Brandon and Brian Jenkins’ residence regarding the stolen property they recovered the day prior. Additional stolen property was recovered in their residence.
If anyone has further information regarding this case please call the San Benito County Sheriff’s Office at 831-636-4080 or the TIP-LINE at 831-636-4084.
