Auburn man arrested for beating, robbing another
Deputy and canine chase suspect assaulter
An Auburn-area transient is behind bars after beating an Auburn man and then burglarizing his home. A Placer County Sheriff’s deputy and his K-9, Okar, chased down Jason David Wright, also known as Jason Gomez, after he tried to run away when law enforcement approached him at about 9 p.m. Monday at the Olive Apartment on Luther Road in Auburn, according to Placer Sheriff’s spokeswoman Dena Erwin. Wright, 30, allegedly assaulted a 59-year-old Auburn man at about 1 a.m. Saturday as he was walking on Park Drive near his home. The victim reportedly told deputies that the last thing he remembered was Wright asking him for a cigarette. When the assaulted man regained consciousness, he was able to walk home but was later treated for pain to his face and hip at a local hospital, Erwin said. The victim told deputies that his keys were missing from his pocket and a gold chain was missing from around his neck. When he arrived home, his front door was unlocked and many items had been taken, including a laptop computer, an electric guitar and other items totaling an estimated $4,750. Wright was charged with robbery, burglary and battery with great bodily injury He is being held at the Placer County jail on $220,000 bail and a parole hold. ~ Staff report

10 years in jail.
Wildfire, your to nice. A little backwoods justice would be just fine!
If found guilty...........and that is a BIG IF with today's miserable system that laughingly passes as the Judicial Branch of Government, then consideration should be given to sentencing him to a long-term to be served in the Maricopa County, Arizona jail.
HE IS ON PAROLE FOLKS, HE JUST GOT OUT OF STATE PRISON!
nice lets beat up the older people & take their things. If he is on Parole as plaso20 says send him back where he came from
Notice the article said he is an "Auburn area transient". I really doubt that. I doubt he grew up in this area. Most of the transients around here came from somewhere else. We did not have this problem until local churches started feeding them. If you feed them, they will come, and they have. Many of them are sex offenders as well. And yes it is a fact, not an opinion. I have knowledge of that but will not divulge how I know. When they move here and commit a crime they not only hurt the victims, but Placer County then has to pay the judicial bill. If we send them to prison it costs a lot more. If we stopped feeding them they would move on to "greener pastures" like Sacramento and San Fransisco. Auburn sure is not what it used to be.
If he is on parole??? Why has he been released? He should automatically be kept on a violation charge.
Yet one more reason to apply for a ccw permit.
He grew up here. I believe I went to school with him.....
A ccw permit? Yeah because that totally would have stopped the guy from getting sucker punched. He never would have had time to pull it out. Your logic is flawed, because if he had a gun, it would have been stolen by this low life and then he would have been armed when confronting the sheriffs. I bet you didnt think of that did you? Guns are not the answer to lifes problems. I live less than a mile from where this happened, and the worst part about it is that most people are very friendly in this area and now everybody is going to be looking over their shoulder. And how did this guy just HAPPEN to know what apartment the key belonged to? Unless the keys are numbered, which I doubt they are, this guy was planning this out.
It says in the article that he is on parole. It does not say he has been released. loveandpeace, it says he is in jail on a parole hold.
There is something seriously wrong with someone who is on "parole" at age 30.
I went to Jr. High with him. He was a nice guy then. Too bad.
I'm glad the K9 Okar took this fool down. Great job to the Sheriff's Deputies.
Enderr, I absolutely agree with you & many are too afraid to admit that well-intended acts of kindness are actually adding to the problem. The area between the Auburn train station and hwy 49 isn't much safer than downtown Sacramento along the Loaves & Fishes stretch.
The victim is my neighbor; he is a good man that may just trust a little too much. Sad case of affairs that you can't speak to anyone that you may come across without fear of getting assaulted.
I hope they throw the book at him (at least give him a lot of time to reflect on what he did). Maybe this is why this guy is homeless; he would rather steal instead of earning his living the honest way.
I believe in karma and karma will get him for sure!
