OAKLAND — The allegedly armed man who was shot and wounded by an Oakland police sergeant over the weekend had been sentenced to house arrest and probation in a prior gun case just two days earlier, according to court records.
The man was identified in court and jail records as 25-year-old Reggie Lacy, a San Leandro resident who was arrested on the 6600 block of MacArthur Boulevard in Oakland on Saturday after a police standoff. Authorities allege that the Oakland police officer — later identified by police union officials as Sgt. Jared Blue-Lowry — saw Lacy firing a rifle, then shot him during a foot chase.
Lacy was able to make it to a nearby apartment and barricade himself in, but eventually surrendered, authorities said. He was treated at a hospital but is now at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, where he’s being held without bail. He has not yet been charged, but was booked on suspicion of discharging a firearm, obstruction of justice, and brandishing a gun in public, records show.
Just two days earlier, on Jan. 2, Lacy was formally sentenced to 90 days of house arrest with electronic monitoring and a one-year probation term as part of a plea deal, court records show. The sentencing order, signed by Lacy, includes a specific provision that he is not to possess firearms or deadly weapons.
The gun case stems from an Oct. 19 incident, where a California Highway Patrol officer observed Lacy speed by at 95 miles per hour on State Route 92 in Hayward, according to court records. The CHP officer activated his vehicle’s lights, but said in his report Lacy was “slow” to yield and continued for another half-mile before pulling over on a Hayward street.
Inside the vehicle, police say they found a Glock pistol made of parts with two different serial numbers, which Lacy admitted to owning. He was charged four days later but released from jail that same day, and remained out of custody until his arrest on Saturday, according to court records.
A news release by the Oakland police department says that authorities recovered a firearm during Lacy’s Saturday arrest and that Blue-Lowry has been placed on administrative leave while the shooting is investigated.
