The incident happened on August 29 in the city’s Strawberry Creek Park area, according to Berkeley Police. A lady named Tiffany Payne is accused of approaching a 5-year-old kid and starting to annoy him in the 2200 block of Bonar Street.
Following witness interviews and analysis of local surveillance footage, investigators were able to identify the culprit. After executing a search warrant at her Bay Point House on November 29, detectives were able to apprehend the suspect. A loaded firearm that had been taken in an Oakland robbery was also discovered.
