For Immediate Release May 21, 2012
The Bakersfield Police Department is asking for the community’s assistance in identifying two
suspects wanted for robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
On 5/11/12, two black male adults, both 18-23, 5’6”-5’8”, having slim builds, robbed the
American Green Farmers marijuana dispensary, 521 H Street. During the robbery one clerk
was pistol whipped and another shot at but not injured. Both suspects ran from the dispensary
and, at some point, entered a black 2006 Toyota Camry which was driven by a third suspect,
Calvin Packard 34. Police in the area spotted the vehicle and Packard tried to evade them.
Packard and the other two ran from the vehicle in the 700 block of L Street and Packard was
located in a nearby yard and arrested. The investigation into the identity of the two outstanding
suspects is ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of either of the outstanding suspects is urged to
call Detective Brent Stratton at 326-3546.
