Ventura Police Department – Incident Press Release
On May 13 at 8:52 PM, the Ventura Police Department Command Center received a 911 call of a brandishing that just occurred outside of Starbucks in the 1900 block of S. Victoria Ave. The victim was stopped in his vehicle waiting to exit the Starbucks parking lot, when the suspect approached his driver’s window, which was closed.
The suspect, later identified as Kent Carter, 04/08/81, Vagrant walked up to the victim’s vehicle and stated he was going to harm the victim. The victim did not hear him at first, so he rolled down the window to see if Carter needed something. It was at that time Carter pulled a knife out of his pocket and while making a cutting motion across his neck, he again made a threat that he was going to harm the victim. The victim sped away and immediately called 911.
Several officers responded to the call and located Carter a short distance away inside of Trader Joe’s on Victoria Ave. Officers waited for Carter to exit the store, at which time he was taken into custody without incident. After being positively identified, Carter was arrested for making threats and brandishing a knife in a threatening manner.
No one was injured as a result of this incident.
