San Mateo police have arrested a man suspected of shooting at and robbing a cannabis dispensary worker in October, authorities said.
On the afternoon Oct. 3, the worker, driving a minivan on the San Mateo Bridge after leaving a dispensary in Oakland, noticed a Volkswagen was following him.
The worker pulled off the freeway into San Mateo and parked. Two men then got out of the Volkswagen and approached the minivan.
As the worker started to drive away, one of the men broke the front passenger window of the minivan, grabbed a bag and fell onto the roadway. The other man fired two shots hitting the back of the minivan. No one was injured.
The worker drove away and the two men fled the scene.
Authorities later identified the shooter and discovered he had been booked into Contra Costa County Jail. Upon his release on Feb. 8, San Mateo police arrested the 19-year-old man on suspicion of robbery, assault with a firearm, shooting at an inhabited vehicle and conspiracy. He was booked into San Mateo County Jail.
