SAN PABLO — A 24-year-old Rodeo woman was charged with ramming a stolen vehicle into a San Pablo police detective who fired his pistol into the car’s windshield but didn’t hit anyone , according to court records.
The accused, Daelanni Turner, was charged with five felonies and two misdemeanors, including assault on a peace officer, hit-and-run, and two counts related to two police chases that occurred during the heated incident from February 23. She is also accused of giving false information to the police during her arrest last April.
Turner was required to answer at a preliminary hearing on May 20 and is next scheduled to appear in court on May 28. She is being held at the West Contra Costa Detention Center in lieu of $173,000 bail, records show.
Police say Turner was identified as a suspect based on medical documents found inside the stolen car after it was abandoned in Oakland on February 27. The officer who was wounded and fired at the vehicle was identified in court records as the detective. Joshua Hearn.
It all started around 1 p.m. on Feb. 23, when Hearn attempted to stop a 2018 Chevrolet Malibu that had been reported stolen in Oakland on Valentine’s Day. The car sped away and Hearn chased it but lost sight of it a short time later. Another patrol officer located the Chevrolet near 20th Street and Stanford Avenue and resumed the pursuit, police said.
Hearn caught up with the car, and soon he found himself on one side and the other patrolman on the other. That’s when authorities say Turner accelerated toward Hearn, who fired twice into the Chevrolet’s windshield but did not hit Turner or a passenger, police said.
Hearn was hospitalized with a knee injury, police said. Turner was arrested on April 22 and charged two days later. A date for his trial has not yet been set.
