PRESS RELEASE FROM RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF”S DEPT.

On April 29, 2014, a deputy assigned to the Norco Office was dispatched to a suspicious person call in the 800 block of Sixth St. Upon arrival, the deputy was directed to Hillside Avenue, where he saw 30-year-old Ernesto Perez from Corona. The deputy determined that Perez was intoxicated to the point where Perez was unable to care for himself and attempted to arrest him for public intoxication.

While attempting to take Perez into custody, Perez fought the deputy. During the struggle, Perez was able to remove the deputy’s baton and at one point during the fight, threatened to kill the deputy. The deputy was able to wrestle the baton from Perez’ grasp and it went flying across the ground. Several bystanders came to the deputy’s aid and were able to secure the baton.

Assisting deputies arrived and they were able to take Perez into custody. Both Perez and the deputy received minor injuries and were treated by medical staff. Perez was booked at Robert Presley Detention Center after receiving a medical clearance for his injuries.
