Police Nab Alleged Car Thieves

Police arrested three people early Saturday morning suspected of stealing a rental car in the East Bay and shooting at another car on Interstate 580.

The trio, a man and two women all in their 30s, was taken into custody after a “high-risk stop” involving multiple units with guns drawn as they pulled the car over on Highway 101 south just south of the Waldo Tunnel, according to Mill Valley Police Lt. Ken Dunkel.

The car, a 2012 Chevrolet Impala, was reported stolen from Alamo Car Rental of Oakland. At around 5 a.m. Saturday, Richmond Police received a report of a shot being fired from an Impala matching the description of the stolen car on the on-ramp of Interstate 580 at the Harbour Way South. The bullet reportedly grazed the driver of the car that was shot at but he was not seriously hurt, Richmond police reported.

A short time later, a Mill Valley police officer spotted a car matching the description of the stolen car at Redwood Highway and Seminary Drive. Police and Marin County Sheriff’s deputies followed the car and eventually pulled it over and took the trio into custody, Dunkel said.

The suspects – 34-year-old Elidase Carey-Truly of Santa Maria, Calif., 30-year-old Eric Barry of San Francisco and 38-year-old Jeremey Parlington – were arrested and booked into Marin County Jail. Carey-Truly and Barry remain in custody on $25,000 bail and are scheduled to be arraigned on felony car theft. Parlington has since posted $25,000 bail and is set to be arraigned on Jan. 5.
