Woman Arrested in Sacramento County After Home Invasion, Kidnapping

Sacramento County was rattled by a disturbing incident as authorities apprehended Destiny Oakes, 30, following a home invasion and kidnapping episode involving an 88-year-old woman. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office swiftly responded to the alarming situation, ultimately leading to Oakes’ arrest and subsequent incarceration in the Sacramento County Main Jail without the possibility of bail.

According to deputies, the sequence of events unfolded on Thursday when Oakes unlawfully entered the victim’s residence by scaling a fence into her backyard. Confronted by the elderly homeowner, Oakes took refuge inside the house, effectively trapping the woman in her own kitchen. To prevent any attempts to seek help, Oakes seized the 88-year-old’s phone, thwarting any potential calls to 911. With the homeowner subdued, Oakes then absconded with her victim’s car keys and fled the scene in the stolen vehicle.

Law enforcement swiftly mobilized to track down Oakes and the stolen vehicle, culminating in her apprehension shortly thereafter. Disturbingly, officials revealed that Oakes was already wanted on an outstanding warrant related to previous charges of kidnapping and robbery, further underscoring the seriousness of the situation.

While specific details regarding the location and exact timing of the robbery were not disclosed, the gravity of the incident sends shockwaves through the Sacramento County community, prompting concerns over the safety and security of residents, particularly the vulnerable elderly population.
