Sutter Creek Police Looking For Man That threatened Ex-Girlfriend
Sutter Creek Police have been following every lead
in the search for a subject that accosted a former girlfriend on Bryson Drive
Saturday night. According to
police reports the Victim got out of her car in her garage. As she opened the
garage door to head out towards her front door, the subject was standing
there. He then allegedly pushed her back
into the garage, and according to the victim made all kinds of threats towards
her. Sutter Creek Police have
received several calls of sightings of the subject described as having longer
hair in black pants and a green jacket. On Sunday evening the subject
once again contacted the victim, this time by telephone, trying to find out
what the victim had told the police. The
victim was able to get the phone number from where suspect was calling and gave
that to the Sheriff’s Department dispatch.
From dispatch, the
Sutter Creek PD was able to determine that the call was made from a pay phone
at the Summit Center area located at the corner of Ridge Rd and Hwy 49.
Upon the police’s arrival
at the center, there was an off-duty deputy in the Laundromat who stated
definitively that nobody had used the payphone in front of the gym. Other patrons at the Laundromat advised the
responding officers that a subject matching suspect’s description had been
there and had left the area E/B [eastbound] towards Ridge Road. Again, several officers thoroughly search
area, but could not find him. That led
to the walking patrols on Bryson, talking with some residents. The Sutter Creek
Police have also conducted
extensive area searches with the help of Jackson Police Department and the
Amador County Sheriff’s Department. Sutter Creek Police Chief Rob Duke states
that JPD and the SO have been "extremely" helpful by supplying
officers to the scene to track the subject.
The suspect has been identified as Jerry Wayne Locklear. Locklear has a felony no bail parole
violation out of San Joaquin County. He
is considered armed and dangerous.
