On Wednesday, Jan. 18, Alameda police officers responded to the Jack in the Box on Park Street for the report of a robbery. Officers learned that a man approached a car in the drive-thru and pointed a firearm at the occupants.

According to a post on the Alameda Police Department Facebook page, the incident occurred around 12:50 p.m. A photo of the suspect was sent to patrol officers who began searching the area. One of the officers recognized the man from a battery that occurred on Tuesday, Jan. 17.

After an extensive search, a Community Resource Unit Officer spotted the man walking on the 1400 block of Park Street. After confirming he was the person involved, officers arrested the 54-year-old Alameda resident and booked him into Santa Rita Jail in Dublin for attempted robbery, elder abuse, and battery.

APD did not release his name, but the APD daily activity log identifies the suspect as 54-year-old Randall Adams. Adams is being held on $10,000 bail as of Thursday, Jan. 19, according to the Alameda County Inmate Locator database. His arraignment is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 20, at the Wiley W.
