EMERYVILLE — A suspect is in county jail after his arrest this weekend in connection with an armed robbery at a video-game store, authorities said Sunday.

At 9:25 p.m. Saturday, officers were dispatched to GameStop, 3980 Hollis Street, for a report of a robbery and spoke with store employees, who gave descriptions of a suspect armed with a gun who had just taken money and fled on foot.

An officer who searched nearby streets found a possible suspect, who hid from the officer and then ran, managing to toss an object into a commercial yard.

The suspect was soon detained, and store employees identified him minutes later as the gunman.

A search of the suspect yielded the store’s stolen cash, and a canvas of the West Oakland yard resulted in recovery of the gun. Donald Jackson, a 54-year-old man working in customer service, was arrested on suspicion of multiple gun-possession and robbery charges.

Jackson was in custody late Sunday at Santa Rita Jail on $295,000 bail, and facing a Tuesday arraignment hearing at Oakland’s Wiley Manuel courthouse, according to a county records check.

Anyone with information should call Emeryville police’s investigations unit at 510-596-3700.
