Police in American Canyon arrested three men from Antioch early Thursday morning suspected of robbing two 7-Eleven stores.
Around 1 a.m., the Vacaville Police Department advised that a red Chevrolet Impala had just been used to carry out an armed robbery at a 7-Eleven store there and was last seen heading to American Canyon.
The officer placed a tire deflation device under the Impala to deter the suspects' exit before more police could arrive. The fleeing men, identified as 19-year-old Jaharri Wheatley and 20-year-old Deavion Ivory, led officers on a chase, with police alleging that Wheatley reached into his waistband"as if he was grabbing a firearm" as he ran.
American Canyon police then dispatched its K-9 unit"Brick" and the dog apprehended Wheatley. Police allege the suspect"actively resisted and struggled" with the dog and officers when they attempted to arrest him and that a loaded, unregistered ghost gun fell to the ground from his hands during the altercation.
