 BERKELEY -- Two men were arrested after one forced a grandmother out of her bathroom at gunpoint to use it during an armed robbery Wednesday morning, police said. The victim was returning to the apartment he shares with his grandmother in the 2300 block of Seventh Street at about 7 a.m. while driving his grandmother's car, police Officer Byron White said. After relieving him of his car keys and cellphone, the gunman asked him for a different kind of relief: the use of his apartment's bathroom. ( Contributed photo ) 
 
 Once inside, the grandmother, who was using the bathroom at the time, was forced out at gunpoint, and the gunman forced the man to join him inside while he relieved himself. Then the gunman left and fled in the grandmother's car. Police received another call about a reckless driver in the area of University Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Way about an hour later, White said. When officers realized the vehicle's description matched the grandmother's car, they responded and found it at a carwash in the 1100 block of University. Advertisement 
 
 The car's other occupant, a 2-month-old brindled mix puppy, was taken into custody by animal control officers. The car's driver, Joseph Anthony Skyler, 25, and a passenger, Harold Daniel Dennis, 24, were taken into custody and booked into Berkeley city jail on suspicion of several charges, including intent to use a gun during a felony, armed robbery, kidnapping, carjacking, and carrying a loaded firearm in a public place.
– A robber pulled a gun on a man in Berkeley, Calif., on Wednesday, then made off with his grandmother's car—but first, he demanded to use the guy's bathroom. Police say a resident was returning to the apartment he shares with his grandmother around 7am when a man with a gun accosted him, took his cellphone and keys, and demanded that he be allowed to relieve himself in the man's apartment, reports Bay City News. Once inside, the man forced the grandmother out of the bathroom and made his victim enter the room with him while he did his business—though the victim was kindly allowed to look the other way, say police. The man then took off in the grandmother's car. Police say Joseph Skyler, 25, was found driving it an hour later. He and passenger Harold Dennis, 24, were booked on suspicion of armed robbery, kidnapping, and carjacking, per the East Bay Times.
