LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Lakeport woman wanted in connection to an Aug. 30 home invasion robbery has been arrested.

Raiven Monica Shepherd, 30, was arrested in Nice on Saturday morning, according to Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen.

Rasmussen said sheriff's deputies located her and took her into custody. She was wanted for first-degree robbery, terrorist threats and assault with a deadly weapon.

On the night of Aug. 30 Shepherd and 47-year-old Tod Dean Syper of Nice allegedly went to a Lakeport home and demanded money, keys and a cell phone, according to the police report.

She is alleged to have brandished a gun and threatened to kill the victim if he didn't comply. A neighbor intervened and during a confrontation with Shepherd and Syper the man discharged two rounds from a shotgun, causing the two robbery suspects to flee the area, police said.

Police said they arrested Syper later that night for first-degree robbery, false imprisonment and assault with a deadly weapon.

Rasmussen said Saturday that the District Attorney's Office has already filed the case against Shepherd and Syper. He added that his officers have been conducting a followup investigation into the incident.

Lakeport Police had a separate outstanding misdemeanor warrant for Shepherd – unconnected to the robbery – for possession of controlled substance paraphernalia, for which she also is being charged, Rasmussen said.

Shepherd is being held on $250,000 bail for the robbery charge, according to her booking sheet. Syper also remains in custody, with his bail remaining at $285,000, jail records showed.
