LIVERMORE, CA — The suspect in an armed home invasion robbery in Livermore on Tuesday is a three-time felon who had been placed on probation in March for a recent felony conviction for receiving stolen property, according to court records. Jared Moynahan, 24, was charged today with two counts of residential robbery and being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm for a home invasion robbery in the 1500 block of Wagoner Drive in Livermore at about 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, according to police and prosecutors.
