Sonoma County Deputies Nab 4 Home Invasion Suspects

SONOMA COUNTY, CA -- A 32-year-old San Ramon man, a 19-year-old woman and two juvenile teens have been arrested and charged in a home invasion robbery that occurred in Santa Rosa earlier this week.

At about 1:10 am on Tuesday, Dec. 13, Sonoma County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the 100 block of Apple Lane in Santa Rosa on a report of a home invasion robbery that just occurred. Upon arrival, deputies were told by the victim that three masked suspects entered the victim’s home and demanded drugs and money. One suspect was holding a handgun with a laser pointer attachment as he was making these demands. The victim told the suspect that there was no money or drugs in the home.

While two suspects searched the home, the victim got involved in physical confrontation with a suspect. During the fight, the suspect fired two rounds off but nobody was hit. The suspect also physically hit the victim in the head with his handgun several times during this fight, police say.

After the shots were fired, a woman came into the residence and told the three suspects that they needed to leave. The suspects then fled. On the way out, one of the suspects scuffled with the victim’s girlfriend, who was also in the home. This suspect hit the woman in the head and managed to flee out the back door of the residence.

In total, there were six people at the residence at the time of this attempted robbery, one victim said. It was reported that the suspects got away with about $100 in cash.

When police interviewed the victims, one said they knew two suspects, despite their being masked. He knew their voices and physical descriptions and behavior. Through various investigative leads and a video camera at the Apple Lane complex detectives were able to determine that the suspects were in a grey Infiniti SUV and were possibly at a Laytonville Hotel.

Detectives went to the Ranch Valley Express Inn in Laytonville and arrested 19-year-old Alissa Henderson who was driving away in the Infinity, which was later reported stolen by the main suspect’s parents. Henderson was determined to be the getaway driver from the robbery and two of the other non-primary male suspects were also arrested at the hotel.

These two were determined to be 14 and 16-year-old Santa Rosa residents. They were later booked into Sonoma County Juvenile Hall on charges of Robbery, burglary, conspiracy, and false imprisonment. Their names were withheld by police due to their age.

Henderson was booked into the Sonoma County Jail on charges of robbery, conspiracy, possession of a stolen vehicle, false imprisonment and burglary. Her bail has been set at $140,000.

The main armed suspect was identified as Mark Robert Graham Young, a 32-year-old San Ramon man and the Infiniti owner’s son. San Ramon officers say they located Young and arrested him in San Ramon without incident. He was brought back to Sonoma County and ultimately booked on charges of robbery, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment and child endangerment. His bail is currently set at $140,000.

Detectives are still working on the relationships between the 32-year-old San Ramon man to the juvenile suspects out of Santa Rosa. Also, despite a search being conducted, the handgun allegedly used in the crime remains missing.
