Police Arrest Stockton Man Accused Of Assaulting Estranged Wife
STOCKTON, Calif. (CBS13) – Stockton Police have arrested a man suspected of stalking his wife for weeks and then beating her unconscious in a Walmart parking lot.
Detectives arrested Yonnie Jackson outside the South Sacramento Kaiser hospital on Thursday evening after a brief standoff.
Police say Jackson had been stalking his estranged wife, Sherry Lynn Jackson, a school principal, since early July when he broke into her house and set it on fire.
On Monday, Jackson waited outside a Stockton Walmart for his wife to come out. As she was putting her purchases in her car, Jackson approached her from behind, threw her to the ground and began beating her, according to police.
Jackson allegedly continued to beat her after she lost consciousness and only stopped when an off-duty park ranger pointed his gun at Jackson.
