Mr. Eason is also charged with two counts of hit and run driving (VC 20002(a)). The criminal complaint also alleges that Mr. Bartholomew and Mr. Skinner had each been previously convicted of second-degree robbery (in 2025 and 2024 respectively).
The court set no bail for each of the men, and their next court date is April 16, 2026, for the preliminary hearing. In addition, Mr. Mullins and Mr. Bartholomew have bail review hearings scheduled for April 10, 2026.
According to San Francisco Police, On April 1, 2026, Plainclothes officers learned that a robbery had occurred near the 2200 block of Irving Street. Officers on scene were advised that the victim was waiting at the bus stop when two suspects approached her. One of the suspects then grabbed the victim’s purse and both entered a waiting vehicle that fled towards Judah Street. The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and declined further medical treatment.
With the assistance of the Real Time Investigation Center (RTIC), officers attempted to locate the vehicle and learned it was also involved in two auto burglary incidents near the Legion of Honor. Eventually the vehicle was located near the Palace of Fine Arts by Drone First Responders (DFR). The occupants of the suspect vehicle were observed casing multiple vehicles and committing additional auto burglaries.
As the vehicle fled the area, plainclothes officers maintained surveillance and developed an apprehension plan to safely take the suspects into custody. The vehicle was disabled near the area of Van Ness Avenue and Lombard Street, after being involved in separate vehicle collisions. There were no reported injuries as a result of the collisions. A record check of the vehicle revealed that the car was reported stolen out of Hayward.
A search of the vehicle revealed multiple pieces of stolen property that were seized as evidence. The robbery victim along with three auto burglary victims were reunited with their recovered stolen property at Taraval Station.
Although charges have been filed, this remains an active investigation. Anyone with information regarding this case, is asked to call the San Francisco Police Department Tip Line at 1-415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD. You may remain anonymous.
