 | The Livermore man wanted in a Nov. 14 stabbing at Las Ventanas apartments in the 3800 block of Vineyard Avenue in Pleasanton has been arrested.
Jesse Serpa, 33, was taken into custody at about 6 p.m. Nov. 26 near his sister's home in Manteca.
Pleasanton police worked with Livermore police to determine Serpa was staying with his sister and he was arrested in the neighborhood where his sister lives.
"It was just a tip that we got. We acted on the tip and it turned out to be reliable," said Pleasanton police Sgt. Kurt Schlehuber.
Serpa was booked into Santa Rita Jail on one count of attempted murder. Bail has not been set.
He was identified as the suspect by the victim, who was stabbed once in the chest during an altercation at the apartment complex.
Initial reports said the two men began arguing with each other and started fighting; during the course of the fight the suspect produced a knife and stabbed the victim one time and then fled on foot. Police arrived on the scene at about 9 p.m. after receiving several 911 calls about a stabbing at the complex.
Schlehuber said both the suspect and victim have differing accounts of what caused the conflict.
"There was a fight and they both have their own interpretation of what led to the fight, and they both believe they were in the right," he said.
The victim, a 30-year-old Livermore resident, was taken to Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley for treatment of his injury, which was not life threatening.

Posted by Truth, a resident of the Birdland neighborhood, on Nov 27, 2012 at 6:52 pm Once again PPD , working in conjunction with LPD, follow through and arrest an attempted murderer. Great job ladies and gentlemen! I hope the people of Pleasanton realize this level of professionalism is not the " norm " in law enforcement and we have the best and most proactive force in the state....PPD earns every penny we pay them!

"It was just a tip that we got. We acted on the tip and it turned out to be reliable,"
This is how you define "proactive"?

Posted by Truth, a resident of the Birdland neighborhood, on Nov 28, 2012 at 6:57 pm Mike, please do some research before you speak...your embarrassing yourself. If you would open you're eyes you may realize the reason this arrest was made we she outstanding investigation which took place at the scene by responding highly trained Officers, followed up by incredible teamwork between Divisions within the PD and LPD. The evidence collection and interviewing of witnesses, coupled with and continuall effort to follow up on leads lead to this arrest.
Perhaps a ride a long should be in your future.
