Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Press Release Re: Josiah Branner and Sabrina Jones Arrested for Alleged Robbery
BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND ARRESTED FOR A SOUTH SACRAMENTO ROBBERY
Just before midnight on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, a resident of South Sacramento County was followed home while on his way home from work. The victim arrived at his residence and parked his vehicle in the driveway. The suspects parked around the corner from the victim’s residence, and one of the suspects, 23-year-old Josiah Branner, exited the vehicle and approached the victim on foot. Branner then produced a firearm and robbed the victim of his wallet in his own driveway. Branner then fled the scene in a dark-colored Mercedes sedan driven by his 21-year-old girlfriend, Sabrina Jones. Shortly after the robbery, the victim’s credit cards were fraudulently used at a local area gas station and liquor store.
