San Andreas, CA…On January 7, 2024, at about 10:30 PM, deputies were dispatched to a report of a robbery at a residence in the 400 block of Gold Court, San Andreas. The victim reported that they responded to a knocking sound at the door. Upon opening the door, a female suspect brandished a handgun and demanded to be let inside. The victim, taken by surprise, stumbled backward as two additional suspects entered the residence. The female suspect continued to point the firearm at the victim while the other two suspects collected and removed various personal belongings. After obtaining the items, the suspects fled in an unknown direction. Responding deputies launched an investigation, focusing on evidence collection and searching the area for the suspects.

The Sheriff’s Detective Unit was dispatched to assist with the investigation, building upon leads established during the initial inquiry. This led to the identification of suspect, Jessica Ann Colcleaser, age 47, from Valley Springs.
