Police officers arrested Sarah Kynoch, 34, of Walnut Park (Los Angeles County), Saturday morning in front of the Safeway store on Commerce Boulevard in Rohnert Park. She was booked on charges that included robbery, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of narcotics paraphernalia.

Officers first responded to the busy shopping center shortly after 10 a.m. in response to a report of someone wielding a gun outside of the store.

Upon arrival, officers reportedly found Kynoch with a handgun and folding knife tucked in the front of her waistband.

Rohnert Park Police Sgt. Rick Bates said the situation unfolded after two acquaintances, Kynoch and Nichol Malicay, 44, of Santa Rosa, began an argument while riding together in a car.

Kynoch accused Malicay of stealing some of her possessions, Bates said. The argument eventually landed the pair in the Safeway parking lot, where Kynoch drew a gun on Malicay and used the weapon to prevent her from leaving her side, the sergeant added.

A concerned passerby reported the incident to police.

Bates said Kynoch was arrested and taken to Sonoma County jail without incident. No charges were filed against Malicay.

No one was injured during the morning events.

Both Kynoch’s gun, a 9-millimeter Smith & Wesson, and the folding knife were taken as evidence.
