As the clerk rang up the item, Fernandez grabbed the bottle and walked away without paying for it. The clerk confronted Fernandez at the entrance to the store, at which time Fernandez opened the bottle and began drinking from it. Fernandez then brandished a knife, and began swinging it at the clerk, as she threatened him. The clerk slammed the door on Fernandez, locking her inside the store until officers arrived. Fernandez was arrested for robbery. Officers transported Fernandez to the Oxnard Police Department. While officers were in the process of escorting Fernandez into the jail, she kicked one of the officers. Fernandez was additionally charged with resisting an officer with violence.
