Stockton officers featured on ‘Live PD’ spinoff
STOCKTON — Female members of the Stockton Police Department will take a turn on camera when Lifetime television network launches “Women On Patrol,” a spinoff of the A&E network’s “Live PD.”
The show debuts 9 p.m. Monday.
Patrol officers and a Stockton Police Department lieutenant will be featured on the program that also follows officers in Jackson, Wyo.; Wilmington, N.C.; and Tempe, Ariz.
The crew was in town a matter of a few weeks, not months, and relied on a skeletal crew of one or two people. It followed about six of the 45 women officers in the 457-person department who volunteered to be on the show, including some on patrol and a lieutenant working on the community response team and its strategies to combat gun violence. County Jail inmates convicted of a pharmacy robbery in January have been linked to a deadly crime spree in Sacramento.
Terran Fayeweather, 18, of Carmichael, and Antoine Yancy, 19, of Sacramento, were convicted and sentenced to jail time for robbing the Yuba City Walgreens of prescription medication on New Year’s Day. It was reported by police that in that case no weapons were used and no one was injured.
On Tuesday, the Sacramento Police Department issued warrants for Fayeweather and Yancy — who were still in jail — for murder, attempted murder, and robbery in three Sacramento crimes in December.
The crime spree began Dec. 22 with the murder of a 16year-old and attempted murder of a 20-year-old man who survived the shooting; the Dec. 26 murder of a homeowner who was shot during a home invasion robbery; a strong-arm home invasion robbery on Dec. 28; and the attempted murder of man shot in the stomach after being robbed Dec. 29.
The men have been charged in three of the four crimes suspected to be linked; no charges have been filed against them in the Dec. 28 home invasion, though the department issued arrest warrants for the pair in the case and are working to identify a third suspect, according to the release.
Fayeweather and Yancy have been identified in several pharmacy robberies in December across northern California, and the department is working with outside agencies to identify additional suspects.
