Is Robert Cordero the same guy that fled Safeway this morning? This is a case I covered a while back and if it is him, will he be released again?

Earlier today HCSO released a press release about a theft from Safeway.

On Wednesday, November 25, 2015, a Humboldt County Deputy Sheriff responded to Safeway in Eureka for a theft report. The Deputy spoke with the reporting party and stated the suspect entered the store at approximately 7:45 p.m. and picked up a turkey fryer, located near the front of the store, and exited the store. He got in his vehicle and drove away. The suspect is described as a white male adult, between 30-40 years of age, blonde hair, and blonde facial hair, wearing a light colored baseball cap, white and blue plaid button up shirt worn unbuttoned, blue undershirt, black shorts, and black shoes. The vehicle he was in was a gold colored SUV.

The suspect in this case has stolen from Safeway in the past and has since returned to Safeway and has caused disruptions.

This is a case I covered a while back. I sent the information to HCSO PIO because they do not have a positive identification at this time and it may be helpful to the deputies. So if it is Robert Cordero, should he be released again?

Released on July 6 and sentenced for stealing, Robert Cordero arrested yesterday for burglary

From LOCO's booked this morning:

ROBERT WILLIAM CORDERO
EPD / FRESH ARREST
Yesterday, 7:07 a.m.

Cordero was just sentenced July 6 and released and here he is arrested for burglary.

He is the guy that attempted to steal groceries from Safeway and use a taser when trying to escape.

Read the previous coverage and this exact concern expressed by the Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees if he was released.

"He took food items from Safeway because his food stamps ran out", Safeway taser suspect denied supervised release and OR based on public safety concerns




Yesterday, Safeway taser suspect expressed disbelief at his charges and kept interrupting and shooting his mouth off about his case in Courtroom 4. Judge Cissna very patiently had to tell him three times to not talk about his case as everything is on the record.

Robert Cordero clueless babbled on three times before a sterner warning from the Judge.
Today, Robert Cordero only tried to speak once. His attorney, Ms. Heidi Holmquist, from the Public Defender's office, motioned him to hush, thankfully, he did.

Today, his second degree robbery case was on for OR/Supervised release on his latest case in Courtroom 1, where he allegedly tasered a Safeway clerk at the Harrison Street location in Eureka and tried to leave with groceries he had taken. He was arraigned on three other cases today, two for petty theft from April and May 2015 and one from 2014 for possession of a controlled substance. 

Ms. Holmquist told Judge John Feeney that Cordero should be released because he is a long time resident and lives in Hoopa and that he had a job waiting for him at Sun Valley Farms. "He took food items from Safeway because his food stamps ran out."

DDA Roger Rees that "when the store clerk tried to stop" Cordero from leaving the store with the items he had stolen, "he tased the clerk." Mr. Rees said Cordero also had a dirk and dagger.

Mr. Rees said that the People opposed Cordero's release out of concern for the public because "in the future if he tries to take groceries", he could taser someone who tried to stop him.

Ms. Holmquist responded that in the discovery she had, there was no tasering. 

Judge John Feeney denied Cordero release on OR or supervised release citing public safety concerns.
