Four Females Arrested After Stealing Over $10,000 of Merchandise

On August 21, 2021 at approximately 5:00 p.m., officers assigned to Glendale Police Department’s Downtown Policing Unit responded to a store at the Americana at Brand regarding a theft that had just occurred.

Patrol officers located a vehicle matching the suspect vehicle description in the area of Central Ave. and Lexington Dr. and initiated a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled initiating a pursuit.  The driver, later identified as 24-year-old Memory Yearby of Seattle, Washington, ultimately yielded along Fairmont Avenue where a felony stop was conducted.

Officers contacted Yearby and the other three passengers, 28-year-old Jaquena Wilson of Los Angeles, 29-year-old Earnetra Turner of Auburn, Washington, and 35-year-old Ravenna Woods of Seattle, Washington.

A search of the vehicle produced several retail store bags, clothing, shoes, and a device used to remove security sensors. 

Over $10,000 of merchandise from various stores was located in the vehicle Yearby was driving.

Yearby , Wilson, Turner, and Woods were all arrested for grand theft and petty theft.  Yearby was also arrested for evading, Wilson was discovered to have an outstanding warrant and was subsequently also arrested for a non-local warrant, and Turner had provided a false name to officers throughout the investigation, and a charge of impersonation was added to her booking.

Yearby, Woods, and Wilson were released from custody due to LA County’s emergency “Zero-Dollar” bail schedule with a notice to appear in court at a later date.  Turner remained in custody on a $50,000 bail for the impersonation charge.
