On November 13, 2011, at approximately 8:40 pm, La Mesa Police received a 9-1-1 call of a robbery that had just occurred at the Carl’s Jr. restaurant located at 8110 Parkway Drive, La Mesa. An employee said that two black male adults had just robbed the business at gunpoint, ordering the employees to the ground. The two suspects took an undisclosed amount of money and fled from the business on foot. The victim was able to give descriptions of both suspects.
At approximately 9:01 pm, an officer who was monitoring a nearby intersection, observed a vehicle pass by him with two subjects inside who matched the descriptions of the suspects from the Carl’s Jr. The officer followed the vehicle as it got onto I-8 W/B.

As the vehicle came to a stop, the officer saw one of the passengers throw a handgun from the vehicle. Both subjects were identified by one of the witnesses from the restaurant robbery. Both suspects were arrested without further incident. There were no injuries. The suspects were identified as:
Antonio Terrell ARNOLD, 31 years old Mario Deangelo TOWNSEND, 30 years old
