ARMED ROBBERY VICTIM
Thieves Took Valuables While Holding Jeremy at Gunpoint
Early Monday morning on September 22, 1999 started out like a nighmare
with 18 year-old actor Jeremy Jackson waking up on the couch in a friend's posh Balboa Peninsula home with a
robber's gun in his mouth.
"The suspect was yelling at him, asking where the stuff was," Stated Newport
Beach police spokesman Sgt. Mike McDermott.
He was shaken up, but not injured. No one else was home. As one robber held
a gun to Jeremy's head, the others rifled through the house, taking clothes and stereo equipment. They loaded them into three
waiting cars parked in the alley below, police said. Once the marauding crew left, Jeremy regained enough composure and called
police. Fortunately there was a patrolling police officer in the area. He spotted the suspects loitering suspiciously outside
the house and was already closing in when the actor placed his 911 call.
Police arrested seven men with one of them sporting tattoos of an Asian
street gang member. The charges were breaking into the posh Balboa Peninsula home, holding Jeremy at gunpoint and ransacking
the house. The seven arrested suspects were Randy Don Cole, 35; Siphaphey Douangmala, 19; Johnny Garcia Jr., 30; Phirum Lim,
20; Luan Tien Nguyen, 24; Vu Tien Nguyen, 20; and Binh Thanh Tran, 21. They all provided Southern California addresses.
Sgt. McDermott said, "We ended up taking seven people into custody. Apparently,
all seven of them went into the house." The police stated that they recovered stolen property and a handgun in the suspects'
vehicles. Randy Don Cole and Johnny Garcia Jr. were no longer in custody as of that afternoon, while the other five were still
locked up. All seven suspects were scheduled for arraignment on felony armed robbery charges. The five suspects still in custody
also faced street terrorism charges. If convicted of armed robbery, the men each face up to seven years in prison. All of
the alleged robbers were checked for possible street gang membership. If proved to be gang members, they face addidtional
charges under state law.
