April 27, 2025 – Ventura County Sheriff's Office officials report that on April 24, 2025, a 30-year-old Thousand Oaks resident, Rickie Ann Hudson, was arrested for burglary and other crimes.

On April 24, 2025, at about 1:53 A.M., a suspect, later identified as (S) Rickie Ann Hudson, used a hammer to smash the front window of the Vons grocery store located in the 600 block of Ventura Street in Fillmore.
