A Rohnert Park man was arrested after tearing apart a Starbucks and assaulting a police officer in Santa Rosa Saturday morning.
Officers were called to the Starbucks near the intersection of Stony Point Road and Bellevue Ranch around 7:45 a.m., according to police.
Police learned that a man had entered the store a few hours earlier and had been "exhibiting bizarre behavior" before locking himself in the restroom and pounding on the walls and door.
At one point, the man allegedly tried to pull a Starbucks employee into the restroom with him.
Police said an alert customer and workers evacuated the business and called police.
Meanwhile, the man left the restroom and began throwing furniture at store windows and emptied two cash register drawers onto the floor. When officers arrived on the scene, the suspect shattered the front door window glass and exited the store. Upon seeing police, the man became combative and charged at an officer, police said.
The man attacked the officer and swung a piece of patio furniture at him. He continued to fight with the officer until other officers arrived.
The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Jesse Stevens, received medical treatment at the scene and was taken by ambulance to a hospital to be treated for injuries to his head and arms, as well as cuts he suffered when breaking out the glass door.
The officer Stevens attacked suffered minor injuries and was treated at a hospital and released. Police said they would seek charges against Stevens of felony vandalism and battery on a police officer.
Anyone with more information about this case may contact Santa Rosa police at (707) 543-3590
Possible outcomes after the fact;
“Afterwards police discovered the man was just an unstable homosexual, so they released him to his boyfriend and all charges were dropped.”
Or:
“They discovered the man had ingested enough bathsalts to become a bathsalt zombie, curiously minus the shouts of “I’ma eat you” or siilar noises.”
We need to ban Starbucks. Clearly the mere existence of Starbucks caused this violent behavior. So, lets see if the liberals go on a crusade for Starbucks control, similar to the crusades for gun control.
Am I allowed to use the word “crusade”, or is that word banned so that we don’t offend Muslims???
Surely a Niner fan that just can’t get over it.
Your saying, “Typical behavior” is not true. With that attitude, you'll be blaming coffee drinkers for mass murder.
I am an atypical coffee drinker in that I drink 4-5 cups every morning, drink non-decaffinated tea during the day and that regular hot tea has a slug of caffeine in it, and usually have a cup of coffee in the evening or two-three more cups of hot tea. The tea I drink is from England and that is full bodied tea.
Scientific studies show coffee helps prevent Alzheimer's disease and regular white tea has a high number of antioxidants which is important to prevent cancer - coffee and tea are good things.
I've never heard of a case of murder by coffee. Don't bother writing back to me because your premise is so wrong, you should already know it.
Strongly suspect nick was just being silly.
Well, Marcella, perhaps your coffee and tea consumption has robbed you of a sense of humor.
>>I’ve never heard of a case of murder by coffee. <<
They have never found that college roommate of mine who asked me a question before my first coffee.
Just sayin’...
Against a charge of murder by coffee you would at least have some good grounds on which to present your defense!
If that’s a Red Dwarf Ping list, would you add me?
That plce would have to franchise all over SF, it’d be too crowded
>>Surely a Niner fan that just can’t get over it.<<
“BLOWN CALL!” (Think “LACES OUT!”)
;)
Nonsense. Rohnert Park is 50 miles from San Francisco. It's beyond the burbs. It's just local nuttiness endemic to Northern California. San Francisco is leaps and bounds nuttier than that, believe me.
>>Against a charge of murder by coffee you would at least have some good grounds on which to present your defense!<<
God knows one would be in hot water!
I’m sure if you took a survey almost 100% of murderers have imbibed coffee at some point in their life. Caffeine is a gateway drug.
The Red Dwarf ping list doesn't get used much these days, but when it does you will be called to come hither...

Hitler lost after Germany couldn't get coffee imports and had to resort to roasting acorns to make "ersatz coffee".
