Take a good look at the guy shown here. Police said today they are looking for him in connection with the beating and robbery of a 75-year-old woman earlier this week. The story was just posted (link) on our site. Do you know who this guy is? Contact the Fremont Police Department, 510-790-6900.

What a relief that they caught this guy. The story goes online at noon on the 13th and by 11 the next morning he’s in custody. So what motivates a 22 year old guy to beat up a 75 year old lady? Drugs?
Also nice that his face, full name and where he lives are out there. Nothing like good old fashioned public scorn.

He kind of looks like that crime reporter for The Argus.
