A man was in county jail after committing an alleged carjacking and a carjacking attempt Sunday — less than 40 minutes after his release from a stolen-car arrest roughly 12 hours earlier, authorities said.

At 7:50 a.m. Sunday, Oakland police arrested a 32-year-old man identified as Rocky Music on suspicion of car theft, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said Monday.

After he was taken to Santa Rita Jail and processed, he was cited and released under a “zero bail” court order meant to keep vulnerable low-level offenders out of custody during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Those rules, which went into effect April 13, prevent booking of such offenders into local jails. In addition, county court officials have barred local police agencies from booking new suspects at Santa Rita Jail unless arrested on suspicion of a serious or violent felony. Those rules will remain in effect for 90 days after the governor lifts a state of emergency, unless reversed by officials.

In comments Thursday, Ivette Alé, a senior policy lead with Los Angeles-based Dignity and Power Now, laid out a case for the statewide bail-schedule shift’s importance for “folks who have not been convicted yet, who are presumed innocent.

“Even if these are folks with low-level charges, those are not convictions,” Alé said. “When we’re thinking about level of COVID-19 in jails, or the risk of other diseases or medical neglect for those not convicted for anything, it’s an egregrious violation of people’s rights and, I think, a violation of Eighth Amendment rights,” given limited access to social and physical distancing in some situations, they added.

After leaving Santa Rita Jail at 7:23 p.m. Sunday, Music walked to the Dublin BART station and allegedly carjacked a driver, taking the vehicle and drove to San Ramon, the sheriff’s office said.

Music then tried to carjack another driver at a gas station in The Marketplace at San Ramon, but police intervened. He then fled down the Iron Horse Trail; officers in pursuit released a Dublin police K-9. Music allegedly kicked the dog before he was taken into custody.

Music was treated for bite wounds at an area clinic and was placed under arrest again, this time on suspicion of misdemeanor obstruction of a public officer, as well as felony carjacking and harm to a police officer’s dog.

He was being held on $100,000 bail Monday and faced an arraignment hearing Tuesday at Dublin’s East County Hall of Justice, according to a county records check.
