Santa Rosa home-invasion robbery leads to four arrests

Four people, including two minors, have been arrested in an armed, Santa Rosa home-invasion robbery in which mask-wearing suspects barged in demanding drugs and cash, a Sonoma County sheriff’s spokesman said.

The robbery was reported just after 1 a.m. Tuesday at a trailer park in the 100 block of Apple Lane, Sgt. Spencer Crum said.

Three masked suspects entered the mobile home, including one with a handgun equipped with a laser pointer, Crum said.

A fight broke out between one of the six occupants and the gunman, who fired two shots in the air and hit the occupant on the head with the gun, Crum said.

The suspects fled with $100 and some bong pipes after a woman entered the home and ordered them to leave. On the way out, another scuffle ensued in which a second occupant was hit in the head, Crum said.

The suspects were later identified through their voices, physical descriptions and behavior. One victim knew two of the suspects, Crum said.

Detectives also used evidence from a video camera at the Apple Lane complex to identify the suspects’ vehicle, Crum said.

Alissa Henderson, 19, of Santa Rosa and two teenagers, ages 14 and 16, were tracked to a Laytonville hotel, the Ranch Valley Express Inn, where they were arrested later Tuesday.

Henderson was driving away at the time in a gray Infiniti SUV that had been reported stolen, said Crum.

The suspected gunman, Mark Robert Graham Young, 32, was arrested Wednesday by local police in his hometown of San Ramon.

Henderson and Young were booked into Sonoma County jail on multiple felony charges, with bail set at $140,000 each. The minors, whose names were not released, are being held at juvenile hall.

The gun has not been recovered, said Crum.
