Two suspects have been arrested for several felony charges after they cornered a victim and battered him in an attempt to steal his vehicle. At approximately 9:43 this morning, Sheriff’s Dispatch received a 9-1-1 emergency call reporting a man with a gun at a hotel in the 6800-block of Hollister Avenue in Goleta. Deputies arrived few minutes later and located the suspects a block away as they were attempting to flee on foot. Deputies searched the area and located a hidden replica Glock pellet gun and luggage taken from the hotel room.
Deputies spoke with the victim and discovered that a male and female suspect had followed him to his hotel room closed the door behind themselves and demanded the keys to his vehicle. The victim refused to give the suspects his keys as one of the suspects battered him with the replica firearm. The victim was able to force his way out of his hotel room and ran to the parking lot area where witnesses called 9-1-1. After deputies spoke with the victim, they checked his hotel room and found property that had been left behind by the suspects including equipment that indicated this crime was planned. The victim had moderate injuries that did not require emergency medical attention.
The female suspect is identified as 43-year-old Kelly Espinoza of Pico Rivera. She was booked at the Main Jail for false imprisonment (felony), burglary (felony), conspiracy (felony) and robbery (felony) and is being held on $50,000 bail.

Is she his mom? There seems to be kind of an age difference.
Bet they have a long list of priors – if so, then why only $50K bail?…. Lock them up… Lock them up!!
Lmfao
This is what “peace and love” has wrought for America. The hippy movement was a huge epic failure…now everyone is just on drugs, and nothing more–all the spirituality is gone. China is wise to keep its citizens from playing too many video games and doing too many drugs. America is doomed.
What the heck does this story have to do with “Hippies”? Get out of the ’70’s and redirect your animus toward something more contemporary. Like “Antifa” or “Trump’s Troops”.
