OAKLAND \u2014 A city resident has been arrested and charged with using a pistol to beat a woman and rob her of $400 after paying her for sex, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Alexander Stovall, 43, was charged with robbery and assault with a firearm on Jan. 26. Authorities allege that nine days before the case was filed, Stovall met a woman on the 700 block of International Boulevard, an area known for prostitution, and paid her $200.<\/p>\n
But when they couldn\u2019t agree on what was to take place next, Stovall allegedly became irate and attacked her. He allegedly beat her in the head with a pistol, then took back his $200 payment, as well as an additional $200 she had on her, according to court records.<\/p>\n
The woman was able to get out of the vehicle. She snapped a picture of it as it drove away, then flagged down a passing motorist, who took her to the hospital, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Stovall pleaded not guilty on Jan. 27, records show. He is no longer in jail after posting $150,000 bail. The charging records say that Stovall has six previous felony convictions, including for robbery in 2001, and gun possession in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND \u2014 A city resident has been arrested and charged with using a pistol to beat a woman…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160368,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[861,44618,143,77613,863,145,144,12906,1780],"class_list":{"0":"post-160367","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oakland","8":"tag-bay-area-crime","9":"tag-international-boulevard","10":"tag-oakland","11":"tag-oakland-assault","12":"tag-oakland-crime","13":"tag-oakland-headlines","14":"tag-oakland-news","15":"tag-oakland-prostitution","16":"tag-oakland-robbery"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
