On August 28 at approximately 8:30 p.m., the victim arrived home and found her brother (the suspect) acting erratically, as if he was under the influence of drugs. A short time later, the suspect grabbed the victim's house keys and walked out the front door. The victim's other brother followed the suspect on foot, while the victim eventually got her mother's car to pick them up. After stopping at a store, the victim drove her brother and the suspect back home. After parking the car though, the suspect got out of the back seat and began kicking the passenger door several times, until it bent forward past its hinges. The suspect then walked away again as the victim called the police. Officers located the suspect nearby and detained him, then later took him into custody and booked him at the Santa Monica jail. Michael Anthony Allen, 25, of Santa Monica had bail set at $20,000.
