The following is from the Martinez Police Department:
On October 25th, 2024, at approximately 6:44 am, Martinez police officers responded to 601 Marina Vista (Amtrak Station) for a report of a female adult, later identified as Christina Starnes, causing a disturbance on the platform. Officers arrived and the subject was not cooperative with officers, refused assistance, and was issued a refund by Amtrak. Around 7:21 am, Martinez police officers responded back to the Amtrak Station for a report of a carjacking which had just occurred. While the victim was arranging luggage in the back seat of her parked car, the person from the earlier call, Christina Starnes, forcefully took possession of the victim’s vehicle, running over the victim’s foot as she sped away. A second elderly female passenger was forced out of the moving vehicle and dragged prior to freeing herself. Both driver and passenger required medical transport and treatment for injuries sustained during the crime. Around 9:14 am, Martinez Police and Amtrak Police investigators tracked Starnes, who was still in the stolen vehicle, to Walnut Creek where she was taken into custody. A Martinez police officer sustained minor injuries during the apprehension and later received medical treatment. Starnes was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility for the below charges and is being held on a $315,000.00 bail. She in not cooperating with investigators
Nothing good ever happens at an Amtrak or Greyhound station.
Agreed – I was once stranded at the Oakland Greyhound station at about 1 in the morning many years ago. It becomes a very scary place that late at night!
at 3 pm its deadly……..
The train doesn’t even go to Walnut Creek, no wonder she wanted her money back from Amtrak. What a ditz!
ELDER ABUSE ZERO TOLERANCE !
.
If there is no threat of substantial incarceration,
there is no deterrence to criminal behavior
They should of put her down like a rabid animal and been done with it. Gun, tazer, baton or dog for a variety of tools to dish out a memorable moment in her pathetic existence.
Good job tracking the scumbad down!
Deranged…very sad.
I bet she’s a liberal-democrat voter!
Does she live in Walnut creek? Oh she just going there to do some shopping…er shop-listing.. I swear the democrat super majority has caused a dystopia where we live!
