The security guard accused of punching a 16-year-old and breaking his jaw has been arrested.
Joshua Streator, 24, was arrested this afternoon and booked into the Sacramento County Jail on the felony charge of battery with great bodily injury. The charges stem from an alleged attack by Streator on Jeff Yazel, a Safeway employee, earlier this month.
Yazel, 16, says he was at the South Sacramento store gathering up shopping carts left in the parking lot, when a Brinks security truck pulled up and two armed security guards got out and walked to a nearby Wells Fargo bank. Jeff says that as he continued to gather the carts he looked over at the truck, impressed with its appearance. Apparently a third security guard inside the truck, Streator, thought Yazel was glaring at him.
Yazel says he was in the middle of the parking lot when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around to find Streator standing in front of him and asked him if he wanted to fight. Yazel says that Streator then hit him in the jaw, then left.
Despite the fact that his jaw was broken in the attack and is now wired shut, Yazel is vocal about the ordeal. He says he hopes that justice can be served.
Streator's bail has been set at $25,000.
