Sean Christopher White, a 33-year-old man from Pittsburg, has been arraigned on a 13-count complaint involving violent carjacking attempts using a hammer as a deadly weapon, says the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office. The alleged offenses were committed in the City of Walnut Creek, unincorporated Walnut Creek, and the City of Pleasant Hill.
The crime spree, which affected multiple victims according to the District Attorney’s Office, included:
– Three attempted carjackings, one of which involved the use of a hammer as a deadly weapon
– One successful carjacking
– Two counts of driving or taking a vehicle without consent
– Two counts of first-degree burglary where a victim was present
– One count of criminal threats with the use of a hammer as a deadly weapon
– Indecent exposure
– Vandalism resulting in property damage exceeding $400
– Receiving stolen property valued over $950
White is presently being held in the Martinez Detention Facility, with bail set at $62,000 during his arraignment.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the dangerous and unpredictable nature of criminal acts, and the importance of public vigilance and law enforcement in maintaining community safety.
